Funding Opportunities

There are a variety of funding opportunities available to undertake research from research councils to charitable bodies and internal funding.

These funding opportunities range in size and scope from personal awards for career advancement such as fellowships, project funding for small pilot or feasibility studies to multisite definitive trials and large programmes of research. 

The Research & Innovation development team can help you to identify the right funder for your study and highlight funding opportunities that match your needs.
