Do you need funds to help you deliver an Open Research activity or project, or to support Open Research learning and development?
The Open Research Fund provides small amounts of money up to £500 to researchers, members of staff connected with research and research students (either individually or as members of a team) to enable them to deliver an Open Research activity, project or output, or to support Open Research learning and development.
Any member of University staff active in research or a research-related role, research student, or team, can apply to the Fund at any time. The Fund can be used:
- to enable delivery of an Open Research activity or project, such as organising a workshop or developing an open resource;
- to cover the cost of archiving/enabling access to data or other digital resources;
- to attend an Open Research-related event or training course.
Applications must be submitted using the online application form. If you are interested in applying, please read the OpenResearchFund-Call (PDF) for full details.
If you have any questions or would like an informal chat, please contact Robert Darby, Research Data Manager (0118 378 6161).
