Postdoc to PI Transition Funding

Getting your first independent funding can be tough, but the University and Faculty offer a wealth of help and support for those wanting to apply for fellowships and larger research grants. Below is some information on resources to identify funding sources, training courses available and grant specific support that is available within the university to make the transition for postdoc to PI a little less daunting.

One of the best ways to find the perfect funding source for your research ideas is through Research Professional. By logging on with your University credentials you have access to a wealth of information on up coming funding calls. These can be easily searched through and filtered to find the right funding for your research. You can also set up notifications to inform you of new funding opportunities that fit your specific criteria.

Annette Caplin, from the University's Research and Innovation Service, occasionally runs training sessions to help get to know the capabilities of Research Professional. These are advertised via email.
