The Research Continuity Scheme provides funding for Academic staff to maintain research activities that are critical for the execution of a future funding application. The funds are primarily expected to support the activities of early- and mid-career researchers.
Funding can only be requested if it is necessary to maintain the research capacity that underpins a significant future funding application, so that the proposed research can be prosecuted if the grant is successful. Examples of activities that are necessary to maintain research capacity might include the maintenance of animal colonies, or time-series collection of field or experimental data where a break in collection would result in loss of past research. This loss of research capability is distinct from a delay in research outcomes.
Please ensure that you have read and understood the Grant Scheme Funding Guidelines.
