In 2010, EPSRC introduced the Repeatedly Unsuccessful Applicant (RUA) policy. With the transition to the new UKRI Funding Service and the aspiration to create a more consistent policy landscape across UKRI, EPSRC has taken the decision to pause the RUA policy for a period of 12 months from 16th May 2023.
This means that current applicants under the Warned or Constrained statuses will have this status removed and will be allowed to apply without the restrictions laid out in the RUA policy. No further applicants will be placed in the Warned or Constrained statuses during the pause to the policy.
EPSRC will continue to monitor submission numbers and behaviours over this time and will make a final decision on the future of the policy in May 2024. Please note that the Resubmissions Policy will continue.
