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.
