Statement of Interest for new projects

Summary

In order for a new, major project to be considered for funding by STFC, a Statement of Interest (SoI) describing the proposed project and detailing the full economic cost of the proposed programme, must be submitted for evaluation. Guidelines and the Statement of Interest proforma can be found below.


SoI deadlines

SoIs can be submitted at any time. If you would like your SoI to be considered at a particular Science Board meeting, it must be submitted by the following deadlines:

Science Board meeting SoI deadline

If the SoI application is successful, the Science Board Secretary will invite the applicant to submit a comprehensive proposal to PPRP (Projects Peer Review Panel). At this time, applicants should liaise with the PPRP Secretary for an appropriate submission deadline.
