Funding Support

Clinical research funding support refers to the financial resources provided by various organisations, institutions, and entities to support the planning, execution, and completion of clinical research studies. Securing funding is a critical step in conducting clinical research, as it ensures that the necessary resources are available to carry out the study effectively and to cover all associated costs.

The Office of the Vice-President for Research have subscribed to the online research funding opportunities service provided by Research Professional, the world's leading publisher of news and information for the international research community.

The Funding opportunities database can be browsed by Sponsor, by discipline, type of sponsor, purpose of award, by deadline, eligibility, etc.  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 and specific page of the sponsor's web site.  Researchers will only see funding opportunities that they are eligible to apply for.

The Trials Accelerator can signpost researchers to funding experts within the University or external partners who can support the development of research grant funding applications as required.
