Finding Funding
In this section, you will find links to the main sources of funding, both internal and external, and discover how to access help from the Pre-Award Team.
Finding the right funding for your research can be time-consuming but there are things that you can do to make it a bit easier. Each funder has different priorities for the type of project they will fund so it is important to find a funder who matches your profile.
