Calls for access

Larger Projects Competition

As of 13.06.23, EPSRC released additional funds into the NNUF access scheme, so in addition to our regular quarterly calls, we ran a special, one-off “Larger Projects Competition” for applications in the range of £150-250k. The Larger Projects Competition call has now closed, and we will shortly be informing applicants of the outcome of their applications.

Regular quarterly calls

The final, 13th, quarterly call of the access scheme (to cover access in the period October 2023 - March 2024) has now closed. We will shortly be informing applicants of the outcome of their applications. Experiments awarded under call 13 must finish by 15th March 2024 at the very latest (preferably sooner) and must be invoiced by 31st March 2024.

Rapid turnaround experiments

Applications for modest amounts of funding, where the facility access fee is less than £5k, have also now closed.

Please note that experiments applied for under the "rapid turnaround" scheme must finish by the 15th March 2024 at the very latest (ideally sooner) and must be invoiced by 31st March 2024.
