The process of applying for research funding is called 'pre-award'.
This page provides an overview of the research funding application process. Research funding can be very complex and we can't cover all scenarios within a wiki page. Research Support are here to advise and guide you through the pre-award process, in particular costing your project, checking eligibility, and navigating the internal approvals.
The Basics
All research and research-related funding applications where the funder requires costs to be submitted must be costed on Worktribe and approved by the Head of Department (HoD) and a central team - Research Grants Operations, RGO - before they are submitted to the funder. Some applications require additional approvals, so make sure you allow time for these processes to take place and approach Research Support as soon as you think you will be applying. Research Support will support you through the pre-award process, in particular costing your project, checking eligibility, and navigating the internal approvals.
