Devolved Funding Calls

Funding Call 1

We anticipate that our first round of funding will be announced before the end of 2024, so please keep checking back to this page for more information on how you can apply.

Background

We anticipate funding 50-70 projects with at least ten per work-package in five rounds of funding.

Each round will last for ten months, and commissioned projects will last between six and nine months.

A transparent approach to assessing proposal quality and alignment with the aims of the Building a secure and resilient world – UKRI theme will govern the selection processes.

Each proposal should align itself to the SALIENT work packages

Project Types

We will fund three types of projects:

Theoretically motivated projects (e.g. research that draws upon theory as the basis for enquiry, or as a means of researching a question, position, or relationship).

Empirically derived projects (e.g. research that is based on measurement and observation of real-world phenomena).

A distinct stream of Early Career Researcher (ECR) led projects (applicants may locate their proposals in either of the two modes described above), as a means of promoting development and community building for new scholars.
