A Pathfinder award is a compulsory precursor to a Follow-on Fund application. The awards are available to carry out work to develop a greater understanding of the commercial aspects and possibilities of research, and hence a more robust, better informed application for a full Follow-on Fund grant.
Awards are usually between £7k-£10k (100% full economic cost), although up to £20k is available in exceptional circumstances.
See NERC website for further details.
Applications Procedure:
Applications should be submitted at any time via the Je-S system. Select Standard Proposal, then Follow-on Fund, then Follow-on Fund Pathfinder.
