Research Resources

Responsive mode funding:

The key features of responsive mode funding are:

• No closing dates - applications may be submitted at any time.
• No constraints on the field of research, providing the majority of it falls within the funding body's remit.
• Research quality is the main criterion against which proposals are assessed.

Responsive mode funding is very flexible, with the scale of projects supported ranging from small travel grants to multi-million pound research programmes. High risk/high return research proposals, embracing new concepts or techniques, are often encouraged.

Funding bodies also often welcome and encourage the involvement of industrial collaborators on responsive mode research proposals, particularly where the involvement can significantly help the progress of the research and the take-up of the research results.
