UK funders
UK sources of research funding for University of Plymouth staff and students

Available to University staff and students, UK sources of funding range from government funded research councils; individual government departments; non-department government bodies; charities, trusts and foundations.
All significant UK research funders provide information about calls on their own websites - which are the authoritative source for details of funding calls and supporting information.
Some sites also provide other notification services for funding and news, including the use of social media, which may suit some users. Access to these is usually via registration on the funder’s main site.
University staff and students can also access further information in our supporting research: internal documents section.
