‌Finding funding

There are a huge range of research funding opportunities, including:

  • Research Councils within the UK;
  • Philanthropic funders and University donors; 
  • European and International funding sources; and
  • Regional, National and International companies.

The Research Development Team engage with research funders, partners, users and beneficiaries to understand their requirements and are a good source of insight into funder preferences. The Team coordinate and manage projects and applications of institutional importance or where there is a wide interdisciplinary scope. 

The University subscribes to Research Professional which offers a large, searchable database of funding opportunities.

The Office of Philanthropic Partnerships and Alumni (OPPA) can provide support in identifying and working with international trusts, foundations, philanthropic corporate supporters and individual benefactors. Our global network of graduates might also provide helpful links into organisations and networks.
