| EPSRC Support By Research Area |
Research areas are used to describe EPSRC's portfolio of excellent long term research and high quality postgraduate training.
Grants are classified using one or more research areas. The number of grants listed below does not reflect the proportion assigned to different research areas and thus all grants of some relevance to the research area are counted. However, the value of the investment does reflect the proportion assigned to different research areas.
The complete list of research areas is shown. To navigate through the research areas, you can use the initial filter.
We always try to ensure that grants on the web contains the most recent information but it is possible that some might be slightly out of date. |
