Get Started

1.  Tell the Research Office !

Alert the research office of your intentions and your main requirements by adding the project to Worktribe.

Do this as soon as possible.  At least 6 weeks before the funder's deadline.

Add the Research Development Manager for MPS, , to the project on Worktribe and also email him to inform him that you are planning an application.

2.  Who are your 'critical friends' ?

Get your critical friend(s) on board.  Send him/her the grant guidelines/guidance.

Get their agreement to help you about 6 weeks before the funder's deadline. 

For all grant applications, the PI must ensure there is a quality check by a critical friend, with three exceptions

  • Small grants (< £10K value).
  • Grants which are collaborative with the lead investigator outside MPS
  • Fellowship applications where the Fellow has written the case for support and the hosting Âé¶¹Ó³»­ PI is senior faculty (Reader or Professor).  In this case the Âé¶¹Ó³»­ PI can take the role of 'critical friend'.
