From May 2024, the UKRI guarantee team will administer all future guarantee calls which would have previously been applied for and administered via the Joint Electronic Submission system (Je-S) from the new UKRI Funding Service.
The first two guarantee funding opportunities to launch solely on the Funding Service will be:
- ERC Advanced Grants 2023
- MSCA Doctoral Networks 2023
Both of these will be launched on 13 May 2024. Further guidance on how to apply using the new Funding Service will be provided in early May.
Guarantee ERC and MSCA calls which are currently open in Je-S and will be open for submissions beyond May 2024 will transition over to the UKRI Funding Service for new applications from 17 May. A full list can be found here.
UKRI are in the process of transitioning all Je-S awards onto the UKRI Funding Service during 2024, with further guidance being released by UKRI in due course. To keep up to date with these developments please subscribe to the Simpler and Better Funding newsletter.
All non-ERC and non-MSCA grant types currently hosted on the Innovation Funding Service (IFS) will continue to be hosted on IFS.
Sign up to the next UKRI Funding Service webinar on 25 April 2024. The webinar will include an update and overview of the UKRI Funding Service, followed by a demonstration of the award journey.
