Methods Bench assessment
Is this a good fit?
Our interpretation of the call, not official eligibility advice.
Worth pursuing if
- You are an established researcher or team
- Your administering organisation is in an eligible country
- The proposal is ambitious discovery research rather than routine programme delivery
Probably skip if
- You are seeking a first early-career independent award
- Your proposal is mainly service delivery or implementation without a strong discovery-research question
Prepare first: Research vision, team composition, host support and detailed costing.
