The Natural Environment Research Council invites applications for its addressing environmental challenges call. We have selected 6 highlight topics of equal priority for this funding opportunity. Your application must address issues within a single highlight topic. We will not accept applications addressing more than 1 highlight topic. If there are multiple successful applications within a highlight topic, they must be independent applications that deliver stand-alone projects. The maximum cost of your project (100% full economic cost) can be between £3 million and £6 million, depending on the topic you choose. Your project can last up to 4 years. (Forecasted date for next year's call).

Cold, Arctic & Antarctic Regions; Environmental Chemistry; Environmental Management; Evolutionary Ecology; Evolutionary Microbiology; Geothermics & Radiometrics; Green Chemistry; Microbial Ecology; Natural Hazards & Disasters; Organic Geochemistry; Renewable Energy Engineering

You may be involved in no more than 2 applications submitted to this funding opportunity. Only 1 of these can be as principal investigator. We encourage multidisciplinary research and collaborations with other UK organisations. Other international and non-academic collaborators can be involved as project partners. We encourage applications from diverse groups of researchers. The inclusion of researcher co-investigators is encouraged where they have made a substantial intellectual contribution to the development of the application and will be engaged with the ensuing research.
