HI-ACT New and Expanding Areas Fund
The HI-ACT New and Expanding Areas Flexible Fund awards funding for successful researchers and non-academic partners to co-create research on the role of hydrogen in local and regional net-zero energy transitions. This call aims to target areas such as rural locations, and island communities, rather than large industrial clusters which have been investigated via other research grants (i.e. IDRIC).
The project duration will depend on the scope of the project, but projects lasting from 3 months to 9 months are envisaged. Other lengths can be considered as appropriate for proposed work.
To be considered, you must:
- be based at a UK organisation
- meet individual eligibility criteria
Projects can be costed up to £50,000 p.a. at 100% full economic cost (fEC). We will fund 80% of the eligible full economic cost (fEC). A proportion of the New and Expanding Areas Fund is for research led by early career researchers.
