Strategic Funding Team (SFT)

The Strategic Funding Team provides a professional service to support the development and implementation of the Faculty's research strategy. It works closely with the academic community to:

  • coordinate the production and submission of large-scale research and fellowship funding applications
  • promote collaborative and multi-disciplinary working via the FBMH Domains
  • help build capacity and capability in strategic priority areas
  • capture and exploit strategic funding intelligence

SFT includes key underpinning research support mechanisms, the Fellowship Academy and the College of Experts. SFT administrative support assists with the planning and management of projects and initiatives. The SFT team works closely alongside the Faculty RSS team, which provides operational support for administrative and financial aspects of research grant management.
