Funder cluster teams
Our Cluster Teams are Research Development and Management and Research Finance specialists who provide research development and management support and advice to academics. They do this across the research project lifecycle from idea to impact, supporting both the research development and financial elements. This includes identifying funding opportunities, coordinating bid development and costings, and supporting live projects and post project activities.
For all notifications of plans to apply for grant applications, including very early stage ideas, please add these to the T1 system as a new research idea. Guidance on logging an idea is available here.
