Funding Call FAQ

What is the maximum funding for the 1st call of Proposals?

 We can offer a  max of  30K at 80% FEC , that means the total value of the project can be £36K  

Are electronic signatures OK ?

Yes they are 

Will we need a letter of support ?

Letters of support from any project partners, that is any organisation that is putting in match funding (cash or in-kind) are recommended.   General letters of support (ie. Not including a contribution to the project) are not required.  Letters of support from partner universities (i.e. where a Co-I is listed from another University) are not required.

Are research staff from an Eligible UK institution eligible for applying as PI or Co-I?

Research staff on fixed term contracts can apply as Co-I or as a lead-applicant with the support of an established academic acting as a PI with a Max 5%-time contribution.


We updated the application form and guideline to reflect this change. (https://dte.network/1st-call-for-proposals)  


  • The lead applicant, PI and Co-I should be employed continuously by the Lead UK University (i.e. their post will outlast the project) or higher education institution and be eligible to receive EPSRC funding. 


  • Any funding requested for staff shall only be awarded for named individuals, who are already in post in the organization

    


Are industry R&D departments, subsidiaries able to work with an academic lead as subcontractors?

Industry partners can be subcontractors to a University lead however the work performed by the sub-contractor has to be justified as essential to the project and show value for money. 


Can the named researcher be located at an overseas HEI ?

Overseas HEI are not eligible for funding

https://epsrc.ukri.org/funding/applicationprocess/fundingguide/


Can the named researcher be an existing PhD student in the lead university?

No , the lead applicant needs to be an employee of the University, as stated in our guideline : 


  • The lead applicant, PI and Co-I should be employed continuously by the Lead UK University (i.e. their post will outlast the project) or higher education institution and be eligible to receive EPSRC funding. 


  • Any funding requested for staff shall only be awarded for named individuals, who are already in post in the organization.


  • An established academic could act as PI and Co-I in a mentor capacity and in this case, a request for a modest percentage of the time may be included in the request (maximum 5%).
