2.1 The STFC Programme
7
2.1
Proposals for research grants must fall within the remit of STFC.
The STFC Programme is divided into six main subject areas:
Particle Physics
Astronomy
Particle Astrophysics
Solar and Planetary Science
Development of STFC neutron, laser and synchotron facilities within the UK
Nuclear Physics
Potential applicants should seek advice from STFC well in advance of submitting a proposal if they are unsure about the relevance of their research grant proposal to STFC's area of research.
Where a proposal is received that does not address STFC's area of science, it may be referred, in consultation with the Principal Investigator, to a more appropriate Research Council.
There are special procedures for
cross disciplinary proposals
such as Particle Astrophysics and gravitational physics.
The Research Councils recognise that research is becoming increasingly interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary and they are seeking to increase opportunities for, and to reduce barriers to, scientific collaborations that cross the traditional boundaries between disciplines. There are special procedures for
cross-Council proposals
.
