Inclusive R&I Funding **Now Available**
We are committed to creating equality of opportunity for those undertaking Faculty Impact Fund projects and we will now accept applications for Inclusive R&I Funding. This is supplementary funding for project leads, co-leads, and research assistants who face additional barriers and/or structural inequalities on account of their protected characteristics.
