This will potentially allow them to begin to establish a research programme on appointment. If grant funding is agreed, funding is likely to be awarded as an addition to the department’s existing consortium or consolidated grant.

It is possible to apply for project PhD studentships as part of grant proposals. For guidance please see the . A strong case needs to be made explaining how essential the student is to the research on which they will be working.

All potential costs should be included in the proposal.
