6. Co-funding, industrial support and collaboration
The Centre is keen to encourage researchers to attract co-funding and industrial support for their proposals. Proposals that obtain cash co-funding in excess of £10k will be able to apply for £50k of funding, in-kind co-funding will be taken into account within the value for money assessment criteria, but does not make the proposal eligible for the £50k funding. All applications will also be expected to show active engagement with industry or other research users.
Researchers that envisage collaboration with other UKRI funded bodies should seek advice beforehand from the UKCCSRC Secretariat in order to identify any potential contractual difficulties prior to proposal submission.
7. Application assessment process
Proposals will be assessed by independent reviewers reporting to the UKCCSRC Board and funding will be decided solely by the Board based on their recommendations. The review process will include consideration of the following factors; the Board may interpret and apply them as it sees fit to suit the particular circumstances.
