Restricted Calls

Restricted calls 

If a funder limits the number of applications an institution can submit, or requires institutional coordination, an internal selection process is used. 

Which calls are restricted? 

The Research Strategy Office maintains a list of current (live) restricted calls and recurrent restricted calls. 

The following funding calls of particular interest to the Schools of Technology and Physical Sciences are restricted: 

• EPSRC Equipment Bids

• UKRI Future Leaders Fellowships

• Royal Academy of Engineering Chairs in Emerging Technologies

• Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowships

• Annual prizes and awards with limited institutional nominees

• Apple & Google PhD Fellowships

How to apply to a restricted call 

For each restricted call, information is circulated via email with full instructions on how to apply, templates, and all internal deadlines. Applicants submit an internal outline application to the University selection process, and selected applicants are then invited to write their full application. 

School Assessment Process  

Most restricted calls are submitted directly to the Research Strategy Office, but a few require School ranking/selection first. 

The Schools operate a transparent selection process based on the quality of the applications received, with a strong emphasis on promoting equality and diversity amongst applicants.
