NDA PhD Bursary 2018
The National Nuclear Laboratory, on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, is pleased to announce the 2018 PhD bursary call for proposals.
Funding will be available to UK academic institutions for PhD projects and to SMEs seeking ‘top-up’ funding for CASE awards and EngDocs in relevant areas. Only project proposals with a total cost to NDA of less than £100,000 will be considered (excluding cost of any collaboration with US research organisations). Eligible projects will include PhD projects involving universities or subcontractors where the bursary is used as a grant top-up in order to access national facilities for research involving the handling of radioactive materials.
To comply with the Government’s protective security procedures all employees/contractors will be subject to an Industry Assurance check and a level of National Security vetting. Proposals will be assessed by a group of nuclear industry specialists. Contractual arrangements will be administered by the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) on behalf of the NDA.
Proposals must be submitted using the application form available on the link below and need to be submitted online by 15:00 on Monday 9th October 2017.
