We seek to achieve the following service standards:

Provided that a member of the Research Development team has been contacted no later than ten working days prior to submission, all grant applications will be processed in time to meet external deadlines.

The Research Division will, of course, do its best to meet deadlines where initial contact is made with fewer than ten days' notice, but this is not a guaranteed service.

Early contact essential

Once the decision to apply has been made contact a Research Development team member as soon as possible. Colleagues are reminded that some large-scale, complex bids require considerable time and effort from Research Division staff.

Early consultation with your head of department or research centre director is essential.
