Research Funding Guides and Training

Guidance documents to help individuals with preparing their external research grant applications has been developed.  These documents are designed to give a sense of whether that particular scheme is suitable for them and their research idea (before they delve into the full funder guidance documents).  We are also developing recorded presentations to give more in depth detail on some schemes which will run alongside the in person workshops we are delivering. More documents will be added in due course, but in the meantime, please could you share this resource with individuals.
