NERC urgency funding

Apply for funding to respond quickly to transient, unexpected environmental research opportunities created by sporadic natural occurrences such as earthquakes, droughts, floods, or ephemeral events in ecosystems. The aim of this funding is to help researchers collect valuable data at the start of the event before other events and actions affect the data collection. The full economic cost of your project can be up to £100,000. NERC will fund up to 80% of the full economic cost. Projects are expected to last up to one year. You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for NERC funding. Applicants must first submit a one-page outline within four weeks of the environmental event occurring, and if approved, will be invited to submit a full application within 10 working days.
