We offer seed corn funding for both research proposals and networking activities within the University of Bristol. The seed corn funding is intended to lead to wider impact, engagement, or funding. We run funding calls on an annual basis, and these are announced in our newsletter and on our website. Sign up to our mailing list to find out when the call goes live.
