Application deadlines

Next responsive mode application deadline: 14 April 2010

Applications for grant funding can be made to the Research Committees under our responsive mode scheme, on any topic within our portfolio.

Applications must:

  • Be completed using the Joint Electronic Submission system (Je-S)
  • Be submitted before 4pm on the day of the application deadline. No extensions to deadlines will be accepted. We recommend you submit well in advance of the application deadline
  • Nominate a Research Committee to review the application. Our scientifically-qualified staff will perform a remit check and make a final decision on which Committee will peer review the application. This decision is final and you will be informed once funding decisions have been finalised
