Funding

CBD Small Grants

Opportunities to design, conduct and analyse experiments can be pivotal at the start of one's academic career. Therefore, we provide funding to support postgraduate research students and early career academics.

Each year, we allocate a total of £25,000 in Small Grants, allowing junior researchers to conduct pilot studies, which we help them scale up to attract external funding.

Find out how Small Grants have transformed our students’ research-led education.

Calls for funding are held twice a year, once in late summer for autumn term, and once in the autumn term for the remainder of the year.
