Accessing support

Fill in the request for support form, completing as many of the sections as possible.

When your request is received, we follow a triage process to assess the type and level of support needed. We may allocate an advisor, simply provide information (or sign-post to resources) to answer your question, or we may link you with the collaborators you need.

If allocated an advisor, they will contact you for an initial discussion about your proposal and further assess any specific requirements that you may have. If appropriate, the advisor will arrange for other advisers to work as a team with you, provide specialist advice, or link you with potential collaborators.

What we need from you

Development of a competitive funding application requires time therefore please contact us as far in advance of submission deadlines as possible. We are unlikely to be able to provide full support if you approach us immediately before a submission deadline.

Where there are agreed action points during advice meetings, it is expected that these will be carried out before further meetings are arranged. This is so that we can ensure the best use of our finite resources.
