How to apply for a grant

All applications for funding must be made via our grant applications website, which requires you to register for an account. When registering, please provide complete information (for example, the full name of your institution rather than an acronym) and where possible, use your institution email address.

Once logged in you will be able to view open grant rounds and access the application forms. Each form has help texts that give additional information on how to complete the application. You will also be able to update your CV using the ‘Manage My Details’ page. Your completed CV will automatically pull through to any application on which you are an applicant or co-applicant.

Please see our Research Strategy 2013 page for details of our funding priorities.

There are several sign-off stages involving any co-applicants and an authorised signatory that need to be completed before the application can be submitted. A help document for the submission process can be downloaded here.

General information on our grant schemes and sample forms can be found on the grant schemes page.
