As all externally-funded grants and contracts must be authorised by Research & Knowledge Exchange Services (RKES), it is essential that you contact us as early as possible in the lifetime of your proposed research project.
We offer advice on :
- Terms and conditions of research grants and contracts
- Making grant applications
- Costing of applications
- Ethics and sponsorship approval
- Consultancy / Services Rendered activity
The Research and Development Fund (RDF) was established to provide a source of funding to underpin the research base of the university. An update on recent changes to RDF can be found here.
The RDF Guidlines and Application Form are available here.
For further information contact Helen Baigrie.
All new applications for externally funded research, regardless of value or funder, require to be costed on a full Economic Cost (fEC) basis and be fully approved internally prior to submission to the funder. At Strathclyde, the full Economic Costing and electronic approval of research is processed using pFACT. The pFact website has a link to the pFACT tool.
The current process for submitting Research Council Applications and other UK Research Funders is available here.
