EPSRC Delivery Plan 2011-2015

Was published on 20th December.  Please be aware that as part of this plan they have decided to stop supporting project studentships on research grants.

In implementing this decision:

• No research proposals will be accepted with project students on them after the 31 January 2011.
• Project student requests on research grants submitted prior to that date and already in the various stages of peer review will be honoured if they are successful through peer review.
• Project student requests in response to all calls for full proposals that were open on the 20 December will also be honoured if successful through peer review.

Please contact your RED manager to discuss this change, and funding alternatives, in more detail.
