Research facilitation within UCL BEAMS and SLMS
UCL's Research Coordination Teams provide advice, support and guidance on finding and applying for research funding. They also coordinate applications for large-scale funding calls and organise events and training through the UCL Research Domains.
These teams can provide support for:
- large research applications
- fellowship applications
- new academics applying for their first grants
- academics applying to unfamiliar funding streams
- PIs responding to reviewer's comments
- setting up mock panel interviews
- drafting UCL letters of support for grant applications
You can also book a 1-to-1 session for feedback on draft applications, or to discuss funding opportunities for your research.
