Just over a month ago, RDS created a static blog page to give advice to academics during Covid-19. This has rapidly grown and so to help you navigate through the information, there is now a main page and then links to the following sections for further information:
- UK Funder news
- International Funder (mainly European) news
- Funding Development Team Guidance to applicants to external funding
- Project Delivery Team Guidance for Principal Investigators (PIs) of Research and Knowledge Exchange Projects + Ethics Approval
- Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021
- Guidance for clinical researchers – amendments to existing projects
Please visit the main Covid-19 page for all your advice needs.
