This opportunity provides an open and flexible route to computational support for high quality projects across the entire UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) remit.
We particularly encourage applications that:
* involve early career researchers
* onboard and train new users
* significantly push the boundaries in computational research using high performance computing (HPC) in your field
This application process is purely for compute resource for up to 12 months. No funding is available to successful applicants.
You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for UKRI funding.
Who can apply
This opportunity is being led by Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) on behalf of UKRI. To lead a project, you must be based at an eligible organisation. .
Business and international organisations are not eligible to apply.
EPSRC standard eligibility rules apply. For full details, visit .
Who is eligible to apply
Research technical professionals, including research software engineers, are considered as academic employees and are eligible to be a project lead or co-lead under the same terms as traditional researchers.
If you are a doctoral student looking to access the HPC resources through this application route, you must seek an eligible project lead to apply on your behalf. The project lead:
* must oversee the preparation of the application
* will be responsible for how any time awarded is used
You can only be a project lead or co-lead on a maximum of one application to each service. Each application you are included for as a project lead or co-lead must be a unique and distinct project.
International researchers
As EPSRC is a lead funder for this opportunity, international researchers can only apply as ‘project co-lead (international)’ as part of applications making use of the or the .
You should include all other international collaborators (or UK partners not based at approved organisations) as project partners.
Resubmissions
We will not accept uninvited resubmissions of projects that have been submitted to UKRI or any other funder.
