Securing independent funding can be a key concern for postdocs, so this section highlights some places to look for different types of funding.
Major research funding
The Research Operations Office website provides information about the major funders of University of Cambridge research, as well as details on how to cost research projects and apply for funding.
They also provide access to the Research Professional Database, which allows you to search for discipline-specific funding from UK and international sources.
The office is organised into School teams, which provide dedicated support to researchers applying for grant funding.
