Check if your organisation is eligible . UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) individual eligibility rules apply. For full details, visit UKRI’s eligibility page . Who is eligible to apply This is a Defra-only funded programme, delivered by EPSRC. Please note that Defra are following EPSRC eligibility rules. EPSRC NetworkPlus grants are open to: • UK higher education institutions • research council institutes • UKRI-approved independent research organisations • eligible public sector research establishments • NHS bodies with research capacity Any individual can only appear on one application as project lead and only two projects in total. For example, one as project lead and one as co-lead or two as co-lead. Your application should demonstrate that the team combines different areas of expertise and experience as appropriate to lead a NetworkPlus and achieve the stated outcomes, including community engagement, leadership and driving impact. To foster innovative interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary research, or both, and cross-disciplinary interactions for researchers involved, we are looking for teams consisting of two or more researchers representing two or more areas of expertise to apply, and to include industrial partners. We also expect networks to champion and engage with early and mid-career individuals. What we consider as early to mid-career is broad. It can span from those recently appointed to their first permanent academic position to those who hold a modest portfolio of grants and are looking to expand their network. If early and mid-career individuals will be named in your leadership team on application, please mention this in the ‘Applicant and team capability to deliver’ section of the application form on the UKRI Funding Service. Provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate they fall in these career stages. We will not consider years post-PhD or job title as a marker of career progression. We recognise alternative career paths and value the diversity of career experiences. We welcome the inclusion of senior professional enabling staff, such as professional research and investment strategy managers, as project co-leads. If you decide to include such roles, we would expect them to be represented as an integral part of the leadership team and so designated
