RDS advice to academics during Covid

Three months ago, RDS created a static blog page to give advice to academics during Covid-19. This rapidly grew and so to help you navigate through the information, we created 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

These pages have been updated every time there is an update available from the various funders or when RDS advice changes. This tends to be ~twice a week. This weeks’ advice (22/6/20) has been amended as follows:

  • UKRI have created a ‘UKRI Coronavirus Hub‘, which covers everything you need to know and more; we are expecting new advice on funding call deadlines next week
  • Wellcome Trust continue to update advice for their grant holders
  • UKRO continue to provide daily updates on all EU activities, including access to Covid related webinars
  • RDS Funding Development Team are almost back to ‘normal’ working levels and you can see changes to our service here
  • RDS Project Delivery Team are organising the ‘resume to research’ for awarded projects. The most up-to-date advice can be found on the BU staff intranet
  • And last, but definitely not least, there is an important update on the Research Excellence Framework!

Please visit the main Covid-19 page for all your advice needs.
