Application deadlines - BBSRC Responsive Mode & LOLA

Application deadlines - BBSRC

Next responsive mode application deadline: 26 September 2012
Applications for grant funding can be made to the Research Committees under our responsive mode scheme, on any topic within our portfolio.
Applications must:
  • Be completed using the Joint Electronic Submission system (Je-S)
  • Be submitted before 4pm on the day of the application deadline. No extensions to deadlines will be accepted. We recommend you submit well in advance of the application deadline
  • Nominate a Research Committee to review the application. Our scientifically-qualified staff will perform a remit check and make a final decision on which Committee will peer review the application. This decision is final and you will be informed once funding decisions have been finalised

Welcome to this resource

Hi - I'm a UK-based Research Scientist and thought that this page might be useful to people applying for research grants. It aggregates news-feeds from major UK/EU research funding bodies onto one page displaying the 5 most recent posts.
Hope that this is helpful,
Mark
