The UHS grants and contracts support team offers help to all our research-oriented health professionals to:

​

•    identify suitable funding opportunities
•    prepare applications
•    negotiate research contracts
•    manage grant income through the life of your award

​

We can also help with increasing the research impact through collaboration, knowledge transfer activities and commercialisation of intellectual property.

To ensure there’s enough time to cost grant applications accurately and comprehensively, the UHS R&D grants team require costing requests to be made at least 15 working days prior to the funder’s submission deadline.

​

We can also provide information on institutional support statements, public patient involvement, research governance, intellectual property and contracts. For further details see our map of services.

You can contact us by emailing research.grants@uhs.nhs.uk. 

​

Expression of interest (EoI)
This is mandatory for fellowships and training awards only, and not required for programme or project grants. An EoI helps us to understand your proposal and how the Trust and University can support it. Please submit the Expression of Interest (EoI) form to us at least twelve weeks before the funder deadline.  

Finance
If you are a UHS employee or your project uses UHS resources, please complete the header sheet on the grant costing template and provide as much information as possible on the other sheet(s). Send it to us at research.grants@uhs.nhs.uk at least three weeks before grant submission. This template can be used for all non-commercial and investigator-led costings.

​

University of Southampton employees or for any projects that do not use UHS resources should instead contact the university finance team finrhub@soton.ac.uk.
