The research of the UK component must be within the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) remit and the research challenges being addressed must be to enhance environmental understanding. The participation of other disciplines represented by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) are encouraged to support addressing these complex challenges. More information can be found here: • NERC remit • AHRC remit • ESRC remit Applicants are encouraged to contact NERC to discuss remit before submitting the proposal, email Biodiversa@nerc.ukri.org This opportunity is open to UK research organisations with standard eligibility.

We: • encourage multidisciplinary research and collaborations with other UK organisations • welcome applications from individuals at any career stage, subject to NERC eligibility criteria The UK Project lead must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UKRI funding. This includes eligible public sector research establishments and independent research organisations. There is no limit to the number of UK Project co-leads per application, but it must be clear from the application what unique contribution each Project co-lead will make to the success of the proposed project. Other ways different organisations can be involved include: • project partners: people who will not receive funding directly from the award but will have an integral role in the proposed project.
