Funder: UK Research and Innovation
Due Dates: August 31, 2027 (Closing date)
Funding Amounts: No fixed maximum; STFC funds up to 80% of the full economic cost (FEC) of large/complex projects, duration as required by the project.
Summary: Supports major research projects in particle physics, nuclear physics, astronomy, astrophysics, accelerator physics, and advanced computing within the PPAN Programme.
Key Information: Only invited applicants who have passed the Statement of Interest (SoI) stage may apply.
This opportunity, administered by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) under UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), is designed to fund large-scale or complex research projects of significant scientific priority. The grant covers a broad range of research in particle physics, nuclear physics, astronomy, particle astrophysics, accelerator physics, and advanced computing relevant to the PPAN Programme. Projects may involve new or upgraded experiments, instruments, detectors, high-performance computing facilities, ongoing operation of major research infrastructure, or development of e-science initiatives. Proposals are rigorously peer-reviewed for scientific excellence and strategic alignment with STFC programmes.
