Background
Introduction
I specialise in international funding and work across the three Faculties to provide support and knowledge to the development of research applications. I support academic staff and international applicants with their research funding applications to Horizon Europe including Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) and the European Research Council (ERC). I also support the British Academy and Council for At-Risk Academics (CARA) Researchers at Risk Fellowship programme.
The Research Funding Development Team provides:
- advice on funder strategy;
- information on funders' forthcoming plans and opportunities;
- support for large and complex funding applications;
- visits and information sessions from funders;
- 'in house' funding information sessions;
- advice on finding funding;
- advice on preparing funding applications;
- lay review of funding applications;
- grant training
Please get in touch if you feel that I can help with your research application in any way.
