The Science and Technology Facilities Council invites proposals for its nuclear physics consolidated research grants. These support nuclear physics research. Capital funding for equipment will be available and can be requested. Funds for capital and resource are separate and an award of capital will not reduce the availability of resource available and vice versa. Grants are tenable for three years.

At the time of application, the principal applicants and co-applicants must be able to satisfy the following criteria: they must be academic members of staff (lecturers or equivalent) or hold a fellowship, such as an STFC or Royal Society Fellowship, won through open competition; they must be either resident in the UK, or be employed by an overseas research organisation approved by STFC as eligible to apply for research grant funding; they must, at least by the time the grant is due to start, be employed by the organisation submitting the proposal or, if not, have a written agreement from the organisation confirming that they may carry out research there and will receive all necessary management and infrastructural support from the organisation; they must have an assurance from the submitting organisation that if the proposal is successful, the contract of employment, or formal commitment to provide support if not employed at the organisation, will extend to beyond the end date of the grant. Post-doctoral research assistants who are not eligible to apply for a grant in their own right, but who merit appropriate recognition for making a significant contribution to developing the grant proposal or whose input is essential to its successful outcome, may be identified as a researcher co-applicant.
