EPSRC MYTH-BUSTING

CURRENT VERSION: April 2022

Rumours and half-truths can sometimes lead to a dead end on the path to funding.

During my time at the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), I served as a portfolio manager and panel convenor, an experience that introduced me to the most common questions and the mistaken beliefs held by both new and experienced researchers.

This guide was developed to tackle these myths head on so that researchers can avoid making a wrong turn. By starting from a solid foundation of clarity and understanding, researchers stand a better chance of reaching their desired destination.

This digital download seeks to make the journey through the funding process a little easier by providing:

  • A list of online references to point you in the right direction.
  • Tips for navigating the standard mode process.
  • And much more, including a BONUS that outlines the do’s and don’ts of writing a PI response.
