Can an applicant to the NIRG scheme be applying concurrently for other peer reviewed funding (e.g. project grant, funding from another Research Council)?
Yes, applying for funding from any other major funder/award making body e.g. other Research Councils, Health Departments, Charities etc would not make an individual ineligible to apply for a NIRG providing it is not the same as the proposal being submitted to the NIRG scheme. However, should the applicant be awarded funding from another source prior to the award decision being made on their NIRG proposal, it may be that the funding they accept from another source subsequently makes them ineligible to hold the NIRG. The MRC reserves the right to decide whether funding awarded since the submission of a NIRG proposal has made an applicant ineligible. As in Q28 below, if this other funding is achieved after the NIRG has been awarded, then the MRC would not prevent the applicant from holding both sources of funding.
