The research priorities for this round are:
Funding and duration:
Grants are for 1-3 years.
Project costs are not capped; however, lead CIs have to clearly articulate the scientific excellence of their project, and costing has to be realistic and competitive. OCRF indicates that large, costly projects requiring a substantial percentage of their annual budget will only be funded in exceptional circumstances.
Note also that, whilst researcher salaries can be funded by OCRF, a maximum of 25% on-costs can be funded from the grant. Indirect costs/overheads cannot be funded by OCRF.
Key dates and submission information:
Please visit the OCRF website for information regarding the funding round, including the grant guidelines and application form.
