The 黑料吃瓜网 and College of Medicine and Health provide several funding opportunities to research-active staff looking to further develop their research activity.
The Birmingham Springboard Fellowship
The Birmingham Springboard Fellowship is a new competitive scheme which aims to support high-calibre post-doctoral researchers to develop proposals for submission to prestigious fellowships schemes.
The postholder will work in a high-quality research environment and will be sponsored by a senior mentor for development of their independent research within the strategic areas of research in the College of Medicine and Health. The postholder is expected to submit their independent fellowship application within the first 12 months of appointment and if/as successful, move into the fellowship role on a new contract within the two years.
Horizon Europe Development Grant
The University is offering development grants (up to £5,000) to support the participation of our researchers in Horizon Europe proposals across all activities of the programme.
Grants are meant to enable participation in Horizon Europe applications that would not otherwise be possible without the additional support.
The fund is intended to be agile and responsive with a quick turnaround for decisions and allocation of funds. It is open to all disciplines across all five Colleges without any predetermined allocation.

Research Development Fund
The Research Development Fund (RDF) provides financial support to underpin career development and research innovation within the College of Medicine and Health (CMH). This funding is a central College resource, overseen by a cross-College committee.
It is available to all research-active staff employed by the College except PhD and MSc students. We encourage applications for collaborative projects, but at least one applicant must hold a CMH appointment.
The initiative particularly aims to help early and mid-career researchers to generate the strong, novel data and high-impact publications that will provide a firm foundation for future grant proposals.
