Proposers choose either NSF or EPSRC to serve as the lead agency to review their proposal. The non-lead agency will honor the rigorof the review process and the decision of the lead agency. For research teams that would like EPSRC to act as lead agency, please see the instructions at:https://epsrc.ukri.org/about/partner/international/agreements/nsf. Proposers should review the CBET, CMMI, and ECCS Program Descriptions for research supported through these divisions and the EPSRC website for further information on what areas of research are eligible for support through this activity.
