    Apply for follow-on funding to build on existing engineering and physical sciences research outputs to accelerate economic, societal, policy and environmental benefits. The proposed benefits must contribute to delivering Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)'s Engineering Net Zero (ENZ) priority.

    Applications must build on prior EPSRC funding. You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding.

    UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has introduced new role types for funding opportunities being run on the new Funding Service.

    For full details, visit .

    Who is eligible to apply

    The project lead is the individual who takes responsibility for the intellectual leadership of the project and its project management. They will be our main point of contact for the proposal and must be:

    • based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding, which will be responsible for submitting the grant application to UK Research and Innovation (UKRI)
    • hold a lecturer or equivalent position at a UK higher education institution, research council institute, or a UKRI-approved independent research organisation
    • hold either a permanent contract with the relevant research organisation or be a fixed-term employee with a contract term that extends beyond the duration of the proposed research project

    Project co-leads are expected to meet all the eligibility criteria of principle investigators except for the requirement to hold a contract that extends beyond the end date of the proposal.

    The researcher co-lead role can be used for named post-doctoral (or equivalent) research assistants who merit appropriate recognition for making a significant contribution to developing the grant proposal or whose input is essential to its successful outcome.

    We also welcome research technical professionals and professional research and investment strategy managers as co-applicants, where necessary.

    You may only make one application to this opportunity as a project lead. You may be part of no more than two applications, in any role.

    Link to prior EPSRC research

    Projects considered through this programme must have a direct link to current or previous EPSRC supported research or training grant(s). Your application will need to clearly evidence how the proposed project directly follows on from the prior work.

    There are no restrictions on how long ago the original project was funded, however all applications must make the case for how the new proposal is timely and relevant to the call.

    Staff on applications submitted to this opportunity (including the project lead) do not have to have been named on the prior grant.

    The previously funded grant(s) may be any kind of EPSRC funding. Eligible grants may include (but are not limited to) the following EPSRC grants:

    • responsive mode research grants including standard mode, new investigator awards, fellowships (any career stage)
    • research grants and fellowships from targeted funding opportunities
    • training grants (competitive and allocated awards)
    • network and network plus grants
    • programme grants
    • critical mass awards such as hubs, centres or institutes. Please note that EPSRC critical mass awards often have flexible funds and a remit for delivering impact from their research. Projects following on from this type of grant will need to make a strong case for why additional follow-on funding is required
    • impact acceleration accounts (IAA). Please note that IAA awards have a remit for delivering impact from research, therefore projects in addition to this type of grant will need to make a strong case for why additional follow-on funding is required
    • projects previously funded through the Global Challenges Research Fund and Newton Fund funding opportunities would be considered eligible as a basis for this scheme. However, they must ensure they clearly articulate how this new award will deliver impact within the UK

    International applicants

    Under the a project co-lead (international), previously co-investigator, can be based in a Norwegian institution.

    Equality, diversity and inclusion
