Frequently asked questions
When must the funded work finish?
The 2027 instructions require completion by 31 August 2028, with a report on how the funds were used.
Should applicants wait until their proposal is finished to contact referees?
It is sensible to confirm referee availability early and give them a clear summary of your project. Keep a checklist of both your own submission and the recommendation requirements.
