College of Experts
The College of Experts at the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health aims to enhance the quality of research grant applications to major funders by promoting a stronger culture of peer support and peer learning among our research staff.
Advice and support for these applications will be impartial and provided by College members who sit on external funding panels and have an established research track record.
The College of Experts is supported by the Faculty research team. It has three main remits:
- high quality peer review for high value (~£1m+) prestigious and strategic applications (including cross-faculty initiatives);
- peer support for shortlisted applications that require interview support;
- horizon scanning of major funding initiatives via our College members.
For more information, please get in touch with the College of Experts at FBMHcollegeofexperts@manchester.ac.uk.
