The Government has always been clear that our priority is to support the UK’s research and development sector during this period of uncertainty. The guarantee extension announced on March 15, ensures that UK researchers can continue their work and that important international collaborations can continue. This second wave covers all eligible successful applicants to Horizon Europe, covering calls where grant agreements are expected to be signed by December 2022.Details regarding the scope and terms of the guarantee are available on the UKRI (UK Research & Innovation) website.

The guarantee delivered by UKRI allows awardees to receive the full value of their funding, subject to the terms of the guarantee. Detailed guidance on how to access the guarantee funding, and how payments are made, is available on the UKRI website.
