UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is inviting submissions to further opportunities through the UK Climate Resilience programme, funded through the Strategic Priorities Fund (SPF). The programme aims to draw together fragmented climate research and expertise to deliver robust, multi- and inter-disciplinary research into climate risks and adaptation solutions.
- Present and future climate hazardProposals are invited to develop and evaluate new methods and techniques to characterise current and future climate hazards and underlying driving processes, including understanding the robustness of the methods.As a minimum, applications should include hazards related to precipitation and temperatures, including their extremes. Proposals are encouraged which consider derived hazard indices or other metrics, including joint hazard and persistent events, of relevance to UK climate resilience.For this opportunity up to £700K available, to be delivered through a maximum of two projects, each up to the value of £350K (at 80% FEC).
Projects should have a start date no later than 3 August 2020 and have a duration of no more than 24 months.
The deadline for proposals is 4pm on 5 March 2020.
Further information on the call and how to submit an application can be found in the Announcement of Opportunity document below.

- Embedded Researcher scheme: Phase one – call for host organisationsThis initial call is from the UK Climate Resilience Embedded Researcher scheme is for non-academic host organisations to submit research and knowledge brokering ideas. The scheme has been set up to provide up to 12 months support for researchers to work with host organisations to jointly develop UK based research in line with the aims of the UK Climate Resilience programme, business, industry, third sector and policy needs and priorities. Host organisations will gain from having a placement undertake a focused piece of work of direct benefit to their specific organisation.Projects should have a start date no later than 3 August 2020 and have a duration of no more than 12 months.No funds are available through this phase one call for host organisations. A further call (Phase two: call for Embedded Researchers) will follow in 2020 for researchers to bid for host organisation opportunities. Up to 5 placements will be delivered through this first round.
Host organisation specifications must be submitted to climateresilience@nerc.ukri.org by no later than 4pm on 7 February 2020.
