How to make a successful grant application
We fund research across the full spectrum of science and technology, but the underlying driver must always be the 3Rs. As the demand for our funding schemes is consistently increasing, it is essential that applicants submit the most competitive application they can.
On this page, we have collected resources, advice and guidance produced by our funding team to help applicants to determine whether their project is likely to be competitive, and what factors they need to consider when preparing the application.
The application process and other guidelines can be found in our Applicant and Grant Holder Handbook.
The NC3Rs delivers free workshops, in person and online, including on making a competitive application to our funding schemes and embedding the 3Rs in applications to any major UK funder.
Ensure you select the correct R your proposal is targeting with our up-to-date 3Rs definitions.
