Mathematical Sciences Small Grants

The Mathematical Sciences Small Grants scheme provides short-term funding to support original research projects primarily within the remit of the EPSRC Mathematical Sciences theme. Awards can fund projects up to 12 months in duration and have a full economic cost (FEC) up to £100,000. The scheme supports activities such as exploring new research areas, proof-of-principle work, short follow-on projects, developing collaborations, and career development for postdoctoral-level researchers. Projects are assessed against EPSRC core application questions and standard eligibility rules apply.
