NB: Check limits!
Funders may ask UCL to limit the number of applicants who can be put forward for specific calls. In this case, usually, Research Coordination Offices (RCOs) internally manage UCL/Faculty-wide selection processes. Open internally managed calls can be found on the three RCOs webpages:
- View internally managed calls by School of Life and Medical Sciences (SLMS)
- View internally managed calls by Laws, Arts & Humanities, and Social & Historical Sciences (SLASH) and Institute of Education (IOE) (UCL login required)
- View internally managed calls The Bartlett, Engineering, and Mathematical & Physical Sciences (BEAMS) (UCL login required)
Funding advice
In the first instance, speak with your faculty or department manager for tailored advice. They will support you or guide you to the appropriate business service teams.
Coordination offices
The Research Coordination Offices (RCOs) support fellowships, personal and larger collaborative awards for researchers. They help you to plan your applications and help you navigate to other support at UCL.
