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 for Life and Medical Sciences (LMS) researchers (UCL login required)
- View internally managed calls for Laws, Arts & Humanities, and Social & Historical Sciences (SLASH) and UCL Institute of Education (IOE) researchers (UCL login required)
- View internally managed calls for The Bartlett, Engineering, and Mathematical & Physical Sciences (BEAMS) researchers (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.
Research Coordination offices
UCL's Research Coordination Offices (RCOs) support fellowships, personal, and larger collaborative awards for researchers. They can help you to plan your applications and navigate to other sources of support at UCL.
