Pre-outline, outline and full application stages. There are no deadlines and meetings to consider outlines are held every 2 months. Programme Grants are a flexible mechanism to provide funding to world-leading research groups to address significant major research challenges. They are intended to support a variety of activities focussing on one strategic research theme. Although it is expected that most proposals will be interdisciplinary and collaborative they can address key challenges in a single discipline. Applicants must discuss their suitability for Programme Grant funding with an identified EPSRC contact before submitting an Outline application. |

The EPSRC Future Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Research Hub is offering funding for up to eight feasibility studies to conduct research at TRL 1 to 3. Industry partner support can be used to include research at TRL 4. Proposals should be in topic areas consistent with the aims and complementary to the activity of the Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Research Hub. The feasibility study should examine a topic that is ambitious and high risk and the proposal should identify key challenges and research questions not currently being addressed. Proposals must offer a step-change in Compound Semiconductor manufacturing and be co-created with an industry partner. The call is open to all UK academics eligible to receive EPSRC funding. Funding is available for up to eight feasibility studies. Each award will be limited to 拢40,000 at 80% FEC for up to six months. Follow on funding of up to 拢120,000 (at 80% FEC) will be available for up to four of the feasibility studies. |
