Funding Information and Resources
Research Research This is an on-line information service and is a reliable
source of funding opportunities and news on research policy and
politics. It offers a complete funding opportunities alert service
for researchers, including every opportunity in every discipline
that can be applied for. Funding guidance contains articles written
by people within the research community, from venture capitalists
and successful researchers to members on the board of research councils.
The articles provide help on writing proposals, creating spin-out
companies, dealing with copyright and intellectual property, and
all aspects of administration necessary for successful research.
Other facilities include the ability to bookmark information, collate
and distribute it to colleagues in the form of a "Magazine".
This is especially useful for staff with a research co-ordination
role.
The information on Research Research is stored in three interlinked
databases:
1. Funding Opportunities
The funding opportunities database is designed to be easy to use
for occasional users but offers complex search options for regular
users. Opportunities can be browsed by sponsor, by discipline, type
of sponsor, purpose of award, by deadline, and eligibility. Records
include a detailed abstract of the opportunity including details
of eligibility requirements, deadline, the original text of the
call (where available); and links to the application form, specific
page of the sponsor's web site. Note: You will only see funding
opportunities that you and your researchers are eligible to apply
for.
2. Sponsors
This database features information about the objectives, eligibility
requirements and application procedures of sponsors along with relevant
links to the sponsor's web pages.
3. News
This database provides up to date news on global research developments
and all the latest information on research policy and politics from
the UK, US, Europe, Australia & New Zealand, Asia and Africa.
