The competition for 2014/15 will open in mid-April. As in previous years the ESRC expects that, in addition to the open route, it will feature steers in areas of strategic priority, as identified by the Council.

These steers will be announced when the competition opens. The upper threshold for any single award is £10 million (100 per cent fEC). It is currently anticipated that the budget for the next round is £22 million. The Council expects to make around four awards.

Details of the winners of the 2013/14 competition will be announced shortly.
