Funding Opportunities

There are a number of funding opportunities you can apply for. Eligibilty for most if not all is that you have a current and formal affiliation with the university.

All applications must to be submitted either three or five business days prior to RGCS's or the funder's deadline - so that reviews and edits can be done before the deadline. Normally, if RGCS requires five days to review, so does the faculty. If RGCS requires three days to review, so does the faculty.

Like all other funding applications, please review your application with the GFO. Calls announcing the R&D are sent out by email well in advance of the deadline.
