The three types of EMRP Researcher Grants that can be associated with EMRP Joint Research Projects are:
The aim of the Researcher Excellence Grant is 'to enlarge the number of organisations with capacities closely relating to metrology' within the EU Member States and FP7 associated countries.
A REG provides financial support for an experienced researcher who is capable of making a substancial contribution through research activities relevant to the JRP objectives. The research must be mainly undertaken at a Home Organisation that is not part of the national metrology systems (i.e. a non NMI/DI organisation). This aims to 'open the JRPs to the best science'.
Additionally, there is the opportunity to undertake a period of research based at a Guestworking Organisation (a funded JRP-Partner or REG Home Organisation) located in a different country to the Home Organisation. This transnational Guestworking can be between one month and 30% of the total REG duration.
REG allowances include: a salary allowance, research and training allowance, and contribution to the Home organisation's overhead. For REGs including transnational Guestworking further allowances include: contribution to the Guestworking Organisation's overhead, living allowance, travel allowance and family allowance (where applicable).
The aim of the Researcher Mobility Grant is 'to increase the capability of the European metrology researcher community'.
An RMG provides financial support for a researcher at any stage of their career, to undertake research activities relevant to the JRP objectives. This aims to 'develop the capacity of individuals in metrology'. The research must be undertaken at a Guestworking Organisation (a funded JRP-Partner, or REG Home Organisation) located in a different country to the researcher's employer.
RMGs are open to many countries, but EURAMET particularly encourages applications from researchers in EURAMET countries that are not yet participating in the EMRP: Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, FYR Macedonia, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, and Serbia. This aims to support EURAMET member countries building and furthering their capacity in metrology.
RMG allowances include research & development allowance, contribution to the Guestworking Organisation's overhead, living allowance, travel allowance and family allowance (where applicable).

In addition to the aim of the Researcher Mobility Grant, the Early-Stage Researcher Mobility Grant aims to 'ensure sustainability of cooperation between the NMI and DI' of the EMRP.
An ESRMG provides financial support for a researcher with fewer than 4 years experience, employed by an NMI or DI from an EU Member State or FP7 associated countries, to undertake research activities relevant to the JRP objectives. This aims to prepare the next generation of experienced metrology researchers' by building experience of metrology collaborations.
The research must be undertaken at a Guestworking Organisation (a funded JRP-Partner, or REG Home Organisation) located in a different country to the researcher's employer.
ESRMG allowances include research & development allowance, contribution to the Guestworking Organisation's overhead, living allowance, travel allowance and family allowance (where applicable).
