Research culture: let's reimagine how we work together
Current practices prioritise outputs over people’s wellbeing. We want to help build a better research culture – one that is creative, inclusive and honest.
Research Funding team
We work with other teams in Wellcome to deliver our funding schemes.
The Research Funding team:
- manages the grant application and award processes for all our funding activities
- manages Wellcome's grant application systems
- provides advice to applicants on how to apply for grants, our funding policies, and our procedures
- manages peer review and our funding committees
- supports award holders throughout their grant.
Our staff have expertise across science, public engagement and medical humanities, as well as administration, business processes, systems and policy.
