Funding FAQs
Can individuals be involved in more than one proposal to the Flexible Fund?
Yes, provided that if successful, you have the time and resources to commit to all the projects you have applied for.
Can a research organisation (such as a university) apply for more than one project?
Yes. There are no restrictions on the number of applications that can be submitted.
How many times can we apply? Can we apply to every call?
There is no restriction on the number of applications that can be submitted, and you are welcome to apply to more than one call. However, resubmissions of the same or similar applications are not advised unless substantial changes have been made.
Can a team of people apply?
Yes, teams can apply. One person (project leader) should be the lead applicant with responsibility for reporting on the project after its completion.
Are industry partners eligible to support an initiative?
Yes, we welcome industry partners on projects, who might offer in-kind or financial support. This should be detailed in a letter of support included with the application.
Are there any restrictions around receiving other funding for the same project?
If you are able to attract additional funding to deliver additional activities and outcomes, that would be seen as beneficial to the application. Please note that we cannot ‘double fund’, i.e. we cannot provide funding for a project that already has funding to complete the same work.
