Warwick’s Research Development Fund (Strategic Awards) is now open to applications.

The scheme provides pump-priming funds for project proposals to enhance the University's capacity and capability to undertake world-class, pioneering research.

This annual competition provides up to £25,000 for the development of new research initiatives that are innovative and strategic in nature.

 

Projects can vary in size and interdisciplinary proposals are particularly welcomed. They must clearly articulate how they will lead directly to future bids for external funding. The deadline for applications is 4pm on Tuesday 30 June 2020 and project spend will need to be incurred between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021. Note: the project time frames have been shifted due to the current health emergency.

 

Further information and application forms are available at the following website https://warwick.ac.uk/services/ris/researchstrategy/researchfunding/rdf/. Applications should be directed to warwickRDF@warwick.ac.uk. Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by October 2020.
