Getting those Grants: EPSRC New Investigator Award training for your first major research grant
EPSRC New Investigator Award training for your first major research grant
EPSRC New Investigator Award research funding is to support individuals who hold an academic lectureship position (or equivalent) and have not previously led a research group.
Years post-PhD or job title are not markers of career progression. Eligibility is determined on the basis of funding history. Find out more about new investigator award eligibility.
Applications are encouraged from candidates who have taken a non-standard career path after their first degree. Applications are also welcomed from candidates who want to move back into research after a career break or any other type of break from active research.
Projects will usually take up 10% – 20% of Project Lead’s time and last up to three years.
