In July 2015, NERC introduced a demand management (DM) policy that limits the number of grant applications that some institutions can make — the quota is based on each organisation’s historic grant-success rate. Originally, the University of Glasgow was permitted to submit ONE application. From 1 February 2016 the quota has been increased to THREE applications per round. Therefore THREE applications will be submitted in each of the next two funding rounds (July 2016 and January 2017 deadlines). Note that the DM policy applies to standard grant (including New Investigator) calls only.   Further details NERC Demand Management Guidelines
