Funding opportunities

We provide a range of funding opportunities, including schemes, competitions and initiatives. Our funding opportunities enable individuals and groups to pursue world-class research in academic institutions and independent research centres.

We have made some changes to the way that we process grants and our range of funding opportunities. You should familiarise yourself with these changes before you start to prepare your application for a funding opportunity.
