NB: This information has been updated following the Trustees' Triennial Strategic Review July 2019
1) Research Grants
This category now incorporates three previous categories of INT grants:
- Project Grants - initial partner funding for new research projects; plus grants for unconventional, innovative forms of research & scholarship
- Emergency Grants - bridging for salary costs / brief underwriting / start-up grants
- Equipment Grants - use of shared equipment, or small equipment needs as part of a specific project. NB the Trust will no longer offer contributions to the cost of major items of equipment.
Please note that there will be a single round for Research Grant applications per annum, in the Michaelmas Term. Applications for emergency cover will continue to be considered at any of the Trustees' meetings. See: Research Grants.
2) Strategic Research Grants
In exceptional circumstances, the Trustees may consider an application for support for a large, institutional, perhaps interdisciplinary, programme of strategic value to the University for the promotion of education or research. This would normally be in response to the possibility of securing a major grant from an external funding body.
3) Other research grants funded partly by the Trust
The Isaac Newton Trust funds research in collaboration with the Schools - our 'Joint Schools' programmes.
INT support for Early Career Researchers includes Research Fellowships partnered with external institutions (namely the Leverhulme Trust and the Humboldt Foundation) and with Colleges, and start-up research funding partnerships with the Schools.
