The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) has opened the July 2025 round of their Responsive Mode Pushing the Frontiers of Environmental Research scheme.
This is funding to pursue an ambitious, high-risk, and high-reward project in environmental science. Projects may be up to £950,000.
Institutional quotas are in place for this scheme, with the University of Bath restricted to one submission to the July 2025 round. Therefore, we have an internal demand management and quality review process in operation to meet NERC’s requirements.
Please email resdev@bath.ac.uk at the earliest opportunity, or by 17 April at the latest, should you wish to be considered for the Bath-led submission to the July 2025 round, obtain a copy of a pitching template slide deck, and invite to the panel session.
Internal Process for July 2025 submission:
- 17 April 2025: Register your interest
- 10.30am April 25 2025 (to be confirmed): Pitching to Panel
- May-June: Proposal development
- 16 July 2025: NERC Submission deadline
