Law Faculty Research Support Fund | Faculty of Law Law Faculty Research Support Fund Next deadline, 2025-2026 academic year, is Friday, 26th June 2026 The Research Support Fund (RSF) supports research activities across the Faculty. The majority of applications are for research assistants, hosting and/or attending conferences and workshops.
Research assistants will generally help with preparing publications, but may also help with empirical work or preparation of large grant applications. Please read the full guidelines before submitting your application - these were last updated in September 2025. Proposals should always be submitted before incurring expenditure.
Applications to the Fund will be judged on their academic merits and taking into consideration the available budget; there is no automatic entitlement to funding.
No individual applicant will be granted more than £4,000 in total in the academic year, i.e., including joint applications and considering the four rounds of funding for the year (note that £4,000 is the usual maximum amount for larger requests, such as organising a conference or match funding for external funding applications).
Joint applications will be counted as the value of the award divided by the number of applicants, e.g. a joint application for £4,000 for a conference will, if awarded in full, be counted as £2,000 towards each applicant’s individual annual limit if there are two applicants, £1,333 if three applicants, etc. Awards from previous financial years will not be counted as part of an individual’s current annual limit.
However, the panel will take these into consideration where there is a need to prioritise applications. The following people are eligible to apply for a grant from the Research Support Fund: Faculty members holding an academic post funded by the Law Faculty and whose contract will not end before the proposed RSF project’s end date New members of faculty with Startup Grants are not eligible.
Faculty member who currently holds a College post and has a contract with their College that will not end before the proposed RSF project’s end date. Junior Research Fellows are only eligible if, in addition, they have a contract with their College that includes a teaching obligation of at least 4 hours per week during term.
Any member of research staff employed by the Faculty, the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies, the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights or the Centre for Criminology who is on grade 07S or above, provided that their contract will not end before the proposed RSF project’s end date.
Researchers on grade 07S or above working on somebody else’s grant (for example, Postdoctoral Research Fellows working on an externally funded project led by a senior PI) can apply to the fund if they meet the criteria specified above, however, they cannot request funds to pay for activities that would be covered by the grant they are working on.
In addition, these applicants are required to secure approval from their PI for their RSF application before submission. RSF-funded projects cannot outlast the PI’s contract; extension requests will therefore not be granted in cases where the new project end date would fall beyond the end date of the PI’s contract.
If the PI’s contract will end withing the following 6 months of the RSF application being submitted, the PI should explain as part of their proposal how they will make sure the project will be completed before their contract ends (see the application form for more details).
