- Abstract
The article offers information about the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)policy, limiting research applicants to make only one funding bid to the council in Great Britain. It notes that this policy of EPSRC is part of measures to relieve pressure on overloaded system starts refusing the uninvited resubmissions of failed research proposals. However, the rule maintains the number of applications since 2000. It is also expected to sustain success rates of 30%-40%, along with the expectation for the community to learn sending fewer applications.
