Demand managed funding calls

In most cases a demand managed funding opportunity, scheme or call has a restriction on the number of applications an institution can submit, often referred to as a cap.  In other cases, funding bodies may encourage institutions to monitor the quality of applications and limit the number of applications to a given call, often with the aim of maximising the success rate of those applications while minimising resource strain. The University may also choose to demand manage calls where a significant host contribution is a condition of the call (matched funding), or where the funding may transition to a permanent post.

When demand management is required, the University will coordinate an internal peer review process to identify the application, or applications, best suited to the call. The process is intended to reduce burden and limit bureaucracy where possible, whilst still meeting the funding call requirements. Feedback and support will be provided whenever possible.

For application advice, and finding funding, including calls where there is no institutional cap, please contact the Research Business Development team who will provide support.
