The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council has recently taken responsibility in Britain for coordinating the Government funding of materials science (among other fields). The new organization is presented, and its role and objectives, the current program, the mode of proposal assessment, the support of Interdisciplinary Research Centres (IRCs) and national laboratories, and the priorities for future programs are discussed.
