ResearchResearch is the world's leading publisher of news and information for the international research community. From their offices in London, Sydney, Washington, Brussels, Amsterdam and Sweden their editorial team provides unrivalled expertise and in-depth news coverage of research policy and politics, and comprehensive listings of funding opportunities and sponsors across all disciplines.

The information on this site is stored in three interlinked databases:
1. Funding opportunities
2. Sponsors
3. News

Funding opportunities
Records include a detailed abstract of the opportunity including details of eligibility requirements, deadline, the original text of the call (where available); and links to the application form, specific page of the sponsor's web site, contact details of programme management and records in our Sponsors database describing the relevant research programme and sponsor. Note: You will only see funding opportunities that you and your researchers are eligible to apply for.

The Funding opportunities database has been designed to be easy to use for occasional users but offers complex search options for regular users. Opportunities can be browsed by Sponsor, by discipline, type of sponsor, purpose of award, by deadline, eligibility, and so on.

Sponsors
Records include the objectives, eligibility requirements and application procedures of sponsors along with relevant links to the sponsors’ web pages. Note: You will only see sponsors that you and your researchers are eligible to apply for funding from.

News
Keep up to date with global research developments. Research Day Worldwide, a roundup of all the latest in research policy and politics from the UK, US, Europe, Australia & New Zealand, Asia and Africa.

Access to ResearchResearch.com is available from any PC on the university network, though staff is encouraged to obtain their own username and password, which allows access from a PC off the University network, as well as allowing staff to set up customised funding alerts on their own areas of research and subscribe to news alerts (click on Apply for a personal account under my institution's license to register and obtain a username and password).

Other facilities include the ability to bookmark information, collate and distribute it to colleagues in the form of a "Magazine". This is especially useful for staff with a research co-ordination role.
