On receiving a grant application, Research Services will, depending on certain conditions (see below), review the application, liaise with the PI and their department about any amendments, and authorise and submit the application.
Research grant applications under £20k with no associated staff costs can be submitted direct to the funder.
Please note that:
If a department submits the application to the funder directly they must send Research Services an X5 costing.
If the application needs to be submitted by Research Services via an institutional account this will be done without review (unless requested to by the department). An X5 costing must be submitted with the application.
All other grant applications will be reviewed by Research Services. Research Services will assess the funder's terms and conditions, approve on behalf of the University and facilitate submission to the funder.
