    Brief

    EPSRC programme grants provide flexible funding of up to six years to world-leading research groups addressing significant major research challenges. These strategic investments bring together teams of internationally recognised scientists and engineers to focus on one strategic research theme, with funding supporting up to 80% of full economic cost. This outline stage is the first step in the application process, allowing research groups to present their strategic vision and demonstrate how their team and research address key priorities in engineering and physical sciences. Successful outline applications will be invited to submit a full proposal with detailed budgets, timelines, and research plans.
