BU’s Research and Knowledge Exchange Office works collaboratively with external experts in supporting our academics and their research activities, through our Research and Knowledge Exchange Development Framework (RKEDF).
Would you like to join our bank of potential suppliers?
We are particularly interested in those who can provide short courses, one-to-one support, bid writing retreats, application review or a range of these, relevant to our RKEDF Pathways as:
- External Application Reviewers – those with previous grants experience to enhance our academics’ applications to a range of external funders, through application review and iterative feedback.
- Event Facilitators – developing our support events, through a variety of means, including both call and funder-specific support.
Examples of key funders include:
- British Academy
- European Commission funds including Horizon 2020
- Innovate UK
- Leverhulme Trust
- National Institutes of Health and other US Federal funders
- Research Councils
- Royal Society
- Wellcome Trust
