Find your funder

Aspects such as impact, external collaborations and co-funding should be considered when planning your project.

To fund your project, there is a range of funding agencies available, both nationally and internationally.

Developing the proposal involves many things beyond the actual research idea, such as getting your messages through in writing, budget, impact and data management.

When your project has been funded, it must be managed and reported, and obtained results should be shared with others.

Once you have developed your research idea, you will need external funding to realize your project. To find funders, both national and international, public and private, you can use the Research Professional database. You are also welcome to contact Research Support for advice and support in finding your funder.
