Eligibility
Can we actually apply?
This funding opportunity is open to organisations with standard eligibility. Check if your organisation is eligible . Standard ESRC eligibility rules apply but participants from the full breadth of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) remit are welcome to apply. You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UKRI funding to lead a project. Eligible organisations are: • UK higher education institutions • research council institutes • UKRI-approved independent research organisations • public sector research establishments • NHS bodies with research capacity Business, third sector or government body project co-leads This funding opportunity is also open to applicants from business, third sector or government organisations based in the UK. In this case, ESRC’s rules on inclusion of project co-leads from business, third sector and government will apply. It should be noted that successful participants from business, third sector and government will not be eligible to take over the leadership of a project as the organisation would not meet UKRI organisational eligibility criteria for a project lead but they could be included in successful projects as project co-leads or project partners. Moreover, project co-leads from UK business, third sector or government organisations will only be able to claim certain costs depending on their organisation type. For this sandpit event, no more than 20% of the participants will be selected from business, third sector or government organisations. International applicants International collaboration is not allowed under this funding opportunity. Equality, diversity and inclusion We are committed to achieving equality of opportunity for all funding applicants. We encourage applications from a diverse range of researchers. We support people to work in a way that suits their personal circumstances. This includes: • career breaks • support for people with caring responsibilities • flexible working • alternative working patterns UKRI can offer disability and accessibility support for UKRI applicants and grant holders during the application and assessment process.
