[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Research Funding Opportunities<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The following table lists research funding opportunities relevant to colleagues at the University of Reading and is maintained by Research Services (RES)<\/a>. Please note that some schemes require that applications are business-led. For more details, please contact res@reading.ac.uk<\/a> or visit the Finding Funding pages<\/a> of the RES website (requires UoR log-in).<\/p>\n

Please note that Research Services also has a dedicated page for EU funding opportunities<\/a> with updates on EU funding and policy developments, as well as an Annual Funding Calendar<\/a> which gives details of annual and recurring calls and not open calls with no deadlines.<\/p>\n

You may also be interested to search University UK’s Gateway to international opportunities<\/a>, a regularly updated\u200b depository of funding opportunities for international research collaboration and knowledge exchange, aimed at UK-based researchers\/institutions.<\/p>\n

For the interest of colleagues who are developing research grant proposals, RES also maintains a Successful Proposal Library<\/a>, containing examples of past applications.<\/p>\n
