External funding opportunities
We are all increasingly aware of the importance of knowing about new funding opportunities. To help staff to navigate the UK research funding landscape we have produced a document that summarises some of the key sources of funding which is available to download from this page (staff login required).
We produce a regular funding opportunities bulletin for Faculty of Engineering staff, highlighting the latest research funding calls and news. The bulletin is sent to all departments, please contact Yangna Li if you would like to be added to the mailing list to receive it directly.
Idox GRANTfinder 4 Education is the College’s provider of information on research funding, replacing Research Professional in 2018. It is an online service providing a searchable database of national and international funding opportunities and is accessed through single sign on. All staff involved in research and research administration are encouraged to sign up. For policy news the College also has access to Idox’s ‘The Knowledge Exchange’ database.
