NERC: NEOF Pilot Independent Competitions for Genomics, Metabolomics and Proteomics

30/11/2023

01/06/2024

NEOF is providing funding for small pilot/ development projects to access the latest ‘omics technologies specifically for independent researchers (including Research Fellows) who work within Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC’s) remit. Pilot/development projects should be directed at generating preliminary data or proof of concept in advance of full research grant proposals, particularly when it is necessary to demonstrate the applicability or the technical feasibility of new techniques or approaches to NERC-relevant research problems. The pilot competition is also an excellent opportunity for researchers familiar with genomics to extend their research methodology and trial proteomics and metabolomics as a means to explore the mechanistic or phenotypic basis of genomic results.
