Support and Guidance

Developing Grants and Fellowships Sharepoint

UCL’s three Research Coordination and Facilitation Teams have joined forces with Organisational Development to develop a combined website providing resources and guidance to help researchers navigate some of the complexities of applying for, and securing, research funding.

UCL Research and Innovation Portal

This Portal is for academic and project researchers and professional service staff to find guidance and resources for delivering high-quality research and innovation projects at UCL. 

UCL Innovation & Enterprise

UCL Innovation & Enterprise works with UCL staff, students and partner organisations to turn knowledge and ideas into the solutions that benefit us all. Take your ideas out into the world, through industry partnerships, consultancies, funding, and commercialisation opportunities.
