The research funding environment in the UK can, at first, appear quite complex and may be a little daunting if you have not previously applied for funding.

In this interactive workshop we will de-mystify the policies and processes of research funding, exploring how funding is awarded and managed in the UK and the types of funding that might be available to you.

We will introduce the ways in which funding applications are assessed by funders and the important factors to consider before developing a funding proposal. We will explore when, where and how you might start to seek funding for your research, and what support is available for those making applications.
