What UKRI is looking for:

You will need to show why it is not possible to resource the work by re purposing existing funds you may have available.
Proposals should:
Describe the approach you will take and put it in the context of the national response to COVID-19. International collaboration is permitted, so long as the research is of relevance to the UK.
Explain the level of urgency, and why the activity is important now.
Demonstrate that the proposal has the necessary critical mass to make a difference. Where relevant, demonstrate the strength of links to relevant decision makers.
Demonstrate a clear route to impact within the timescale of the project.
Confirm whether the research requires any access to the health and care system and if so describe how you will comply with the newly established DHSC single, national process for prioritisation of COVID-19 research studies.
Give an estimate of the resources required (within 10%).
As part of the submission, the proposal may include requests for access to UKRI experimental, analytical or computational capabilities that are currently operational.
Name the team that will run this and describe their ability and capacity to deliver
UKRI can help provide access to pooled research staff from UK facilities, including research software engineering support and staff data scientists. Indicate on the form if help assembling the team is needed.
Provide evidence that the host institution or business supports the proposal and that the research can be carried out under present institutional or business restrictions.
Proposals that are out of scope
These include:
funding to directly mitigate the effects of the pandemic on specific institutions and businesses.
proposals more appropriate to other existing funding calls and /or other research funders.
UKRI will act to transfer proposals to appropriate other calls that are open, so do submit here if you are unsure.
Longer term research proposals that address the COVID-19 emergency or future pandemics that don’t meet the urgency guidelines should be submitted through normal responsive mode.
