Mathematical Sciences Small Grants

The Mathematical Sciences Small Grants funding opportunity is a mechanism for supporting mathematical sciences research which does not require funding at the level generally seen within standard research grants. This opportunity supports original research projects within the remit of the EPSRC Mathematical Sciences theme, assessed on a rolling basis. Projects can explore research in new areas, generate proof-of-principle results, conduct short follow-on projects, generate evidence of collaborations, realise user impacts, or support career development for postdoctoral-level researchers. The full economic cost can be up to £100,000 with EPSRC funding 80% of the FEC for projects lasting up to 12 months. Applications are driven by ideas and may involve single or multiple applicants, including interdisciplinary collaborative research. A discipline hopping route is also available for researchers wanting to develop skills or collaborations with other disciplines while maintaining connection to mathematical sciences.
