UK IODP GRANTS
The NERC IODP Directed Programme invites applications on any aspect of research related to IODP, or one of its predecessors (ODP and DSDP). For more detailed information please click here for the NERC directed Program Grants page. Applicants should refer to the
current conditions and eligibility requirements, which
can be found on the NERC
website where application forms, procedural information
and a research grant guideline booklet can also be obtained.
Applicants may also wish to consult the IODP
Initial Science Programme.
All successul applicants are asked
to fully acknowledge support from the UK IODP Programme
in their work.
As of April 1 2005, applications
to NERC must be submitted electronically using JeS -
no paper copies, or emailed applications will be allowed.
This means that potential applicants must ensure that
their institution is registered with JeS in order for
them to submit applications.
NERC IODP Research Grants
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: For essential
information and details on the changes to this scheme
please click here.
To support UK membership in the UK
Integrated Ocean Drilling Program (IODP), NERC has established
a Directed Science Programme to enable: UK Scientists
to ensure that IODP carries out the best and highest
priority science; UK Scientists to participate in and
obtain material from drilling legs, and finally to allow
UK scientists to capitalize on the results of IODP drilling
and UK Technologies to benefit from technological advances
in deep sea drilling.
If you would like any further information
or advice please contact the Science Coordinator, Dayton Dove or the Programme Administrator.
UK IODP Rapid Response Grants
IODP Rapid Response Awards are
for the purpose of supporting a limited number of small-scale,
short research activities specifically related to IODP
Leg objectives. Rapid research grants are typically
awarded to assist with initial sample processing costs
or small equipment purchases related to IODP involvement.
Proposals (no more than 2 pages long) should clearly
state the aims, deliverables and the case for support.
Where relevant, the proposal should be supported by
a statement from an IODP Leg Co-Chief Scientists and/or
(for students) from an appropriate member of the departmental
academic staff.
Please note that applications for
Rapid Response Grants will now need to be costed under
FEC requirements. The maximum amount, to include all
FEC costings are now £2,750 for Rapid Response
Grants. In other words, £2200 (80%) is covered by NERC, the other £550 (20%)
is to be recovered from the applicant’s institute.
Rapid Response proposals will be
reviewed by members of the UK IODP Steering Committee
and awards will be limited by the funds available for
this scheme. Although there is no closing date, applications
should be submitted by e-mail to the Science Coordinator Dayton Dove as early as possible in advance of the proposed starting
date.
