Yesterday the Natural Environment Research Council announced changes to the Consortium and Small grants responsive mode schemes.
The Small Grants Scheme will close after 2011 with the last application deadline being 1st September 2011.
The Consortium Grants Scheme will be modified to operate via one grant round per year rather than two, and an outline stage assessed by members of the Peer Review College will be introduced. The final closing date for submissions to the Consortium scheme in the current format will be 1 December 2011 (concept notes to be submitted by 1 September 2011). From 2012 additional resources will be committed to the Consortium Grants scheme.
These changes are part of the NERC Delivery Plan 2011-2015 which includes the following targets for Responsive Mode:
- reduce demand for research grants,
- consolidate RM schemes and processes, and balances between them, to deliver NERC strategic needs
