LATEST INFORMATION
December 2008:
CHANGE TO NERC MARINE PLANNING POLICY
All Principal Investigators bidding for ship time or marine equipment are now required to speak to Marine Planning
to discuss their requirements before submission of their online Ship-time and Marine Equipment (SME) application form.
Failure to do so may result in their cruise not being included in the NERC Marine Facilities Programme.
This requirement is to ensure that a realistic start date and relevant costs are included in the grant proposal,
and to confirm that NERC can supply the required capability.
The Marine Planning contact is Dr Helen Beadman habe@nerc.ac.uk. Tel: 01793 411513.
Marine Facilities Planning
The purpose of these Marine Facilities Planning web pages is to allow scientists to make applications for
marine facilities in support of marine science.
Scientists who have secured science funding from NERC, or from a non-NERC peer-reviewed source
(eg. the EU or NSF) or from commissioned research, can bid to NERC for
'free at the point of use' access to: NERC ships, the National Marine Equipment Pool (NMEP),
NMF-SS technical staff and equipment support facilities.
There are currently two types of applications:
- The Ship-time and Equipment application form (SME Profile).
- The Marine Equipment only application form (ME Profile).
Before applying for marine facilities you must have made an application for research
and 'superstructure' (ie. the cost of all technician and equipment support) funding.
Funding applications cannot be made via the Marine Facilities Planning web site but
must have previously been made elsewhere -
[here].
Please also check the NERC deadlines -
