The Research Relations team have collated guidance for some major funders and funding schemes.
These include the following:
- EPSRC

We have developed a guidance document to explain more about these awards, provide tips and hints on what EPSRC are looking for and provide information on successful examples at Cambridge.
- Prosperity Partnerships - EPSRC prosperity partnerships are collaborative research programmes funded jointly by businesses and the UK Government through the EPSRC and other UKRI councils. A quick guide to the prosperity partnership scheme can be found here.
