About This Grant

The Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), in partnership with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is providing funding for a UK-US collaborative project. The objective is to develop new representations of key processes regulating ocean carbon storage for use in global models. This opportunity forms part of the BIO-Carbon programme. Project leads and UK researchers must be based at an eligible UK research organisation, while US researchers must be affiliated with a US institution. Applicants must first submit a Notification of Intent (NoI) to be eligible to submit a full application.
