UK Government fundingThe UK Government releases calls at any time during the year or have funding available at any time (open calls). Some of these are directed calls which may fit your research specifically. Others are broader in scope, may relate to specific countries (e.g., the Newton Fund and Darwin Initiative), be industry focussed (Innovate UK) or cross disciplines (e.g. ESRC). Most offer email updates to send you reminders about calls. Most also advertise membership of panels and boards, which may offer insights into obtaining funding for your research.
