Deadlines Calendar
This calendar highlights key dates to assist staff plan for the year. The calendar lists closing dates for the major research funding opportunities, scholarships and also includes the due dates for key research funding reports. The list of funding opportunities shown is by no means an exhaustive
list, but highlights some of the key grants. We recommend researchers consult the COS
(Community of Science) database and our regular Research update emails for further opportunities. Please also note that some dates are yet to be confirmed or advised by the funding bodies.
The calendar is ordered by Internal Closing Date. Please note that internal deadlines for research funding applications are set generally one or two weeks prior to the funder's deadline to allow Research Grants, Contracts and Consultancy staff to check the application for compliance to the guidelines and offer advice or improvements to the application.
