Research Grant Applications

Faculty members are strongly encouraged to apply for research grants, but are reminded that the Faculty needs to approve any application before it is submitted to the sponsor in question.

Faculty members are reminded that the two Research Facilitators for the Schools of Arts & Humanities and for the School of Humanities & Social Sciences, Dr Barry Dixon (barry.dixon@admin.cam.ac.uk) and Dr Daniel Wunderlich (daniel.wunderlich@admin.cam.ac.uk) can give advice on the drafting and the initial stages of research grant applications. Dr Dixon focusses on applications to EU and overseas sponsors, and Dr Wunderlich focusses on applications to UK sponsors.

Research Grants Applications - New Submission Deadlines

Following the Research Policy Committee meeting on 17 January 2013, we can confirm that from 8 February 2013 there will be new deadlines for submitting grant applications to the Research Operations Office (ROO).

In summary, Departments are asked to risk assess applications for the following and determine whether they are ‘higher’ or ‘lower’ risk:

1. New sponsor – requires ethical and finance checks
2. PI / co-I eligibility query
3. Further budget checks required
4. As agreed by Department and ROO Assistant Director

The following deadlines will then apply:

Submission of Budget, Justification of Resources, Other

	Full Checks	Possible Minimal Checks	No Checks
High Risk	5 – 10 days	24hrs to 4 days	Less than 24hrs
Low Risk	3+ days	24hrs to 2 days	Less than 24hrs

Submission of the Academic/Scientific Case, Final Budget

High Risk 24+ hrs

Low Risk 24+ hrs

Further information and advice can be found from the slides presented at RGUG and the news item on the ROO website.  If you have any queries please contact your School Assistant Director.

Here follows a timetable, and links to further information, for grant applications under schemes of potential interest to Faculty members: the deadlines relate to dates when the applications must reach the Faculty Administrator, the Research Office (RSD) and the sponsor in question, respectively.
