You'll need to contact your School/Centre/Institute/Faculty and let them know that you want to apply for funding as soon as possible. They'll be an expert source of advice and support.

This is particularly important if there are cash commitments required as part of your grant application. Your organisational unit will need to be consulted as early as possible.

They'll also let you know of any organisational unit requirements and University policies that you need to be aware of.
