Specific information for Researchers and Students
Please note that the RCUK Strategy Unit does not provide research
funding or studentship opportunities but works with people across
the Research Councils to encourage cross-Council collaboration.
Studentship funding is either awarded directly to universities
and research organisations; or the application process for studentship
funding has to be completed with the relevant institution. Therefore
potential students should contact the institution at which they
wish to undertake a research degree.
The Research Councils provide funding to UK universities, Research
Council Institutes and a number of other independent research organisations
in the form of research grants and fellowships. Each of the
Research Councils publishes information on its website about funding
opportunities and how to apply for funding. This information can
be accessed by following the "How to apply for funding" link in
the respective Research Council's contact details below.
