FUNDING: Lead Agency Agreement between EPSRC and NSF

This post is meant to highlight a new lead agency agreement between the EPSRC and NSF for international collaboration.  The lead agency agreement model allows researchers to submit a single collaborative proposal with a joint funding decision, informed by a single lead agency review. This review process will follow the usual process for the lead agency.

EPSRC grants must be within the engineering remit; however, NSF submissions may fall within the categories below:

Chemical and Biochemical Systems

• Catalysis and Biocatalysis
• Chemical and Biological Separations
• Energy for Sustainability
• Process Systems, Reaction Engineering and Molecular Thermodynamics

Biomedical Engineering and Engineering Healthcare

• Biomedical Engineering
• Biophotonics
• Biotechnology and Biochemical Engineering
• General and Age-Related Disabilities Engineering
• Nano-Biosensing

Environmental Engineering and Sustainability

• Environmental Engineering
• Environmental Sustainability
• Nano-Bio Phenomena and Processes in the Environment

Transport, Thermal and Fluid Phenomena

• Combustion and Fire Systems
• Fluid Dynamics
• Particulate and Multiphase Processes
• Thermal Transport Processes
