Funding opportunity: Work with US-based researchers on environmental science: NERC-NSF lead agency

This funding opportunity allows UK and US-based researchers to submit a collaborative application to either NSF or NERC under existing funding programmes. Applications will go through a single review process.

Collaborative work is governed by a lead agency agreement between NERC and NSF and must adhere to the remits of both NERC and NSF GEO or BIO-DEB schemes.

The UK-based applicant must be:

• based at a UK research organisation eligible for NERC funding
• employed at lecturer (or equivalent) level or above

If successful, UK-based researchers will be supported by NERC. The US-based researchers will be supported by NSF.

NERC will fund UK applicants at 80% of the full economic costs.
