Funding Sources

You can now use the GRANTnet database to search for funding for your project. This database takes you through a series of simple questions about your organisation and what you need funding for.  It will then produce a list of funders with information about their funding criteria and their contact details. To keep your information confidential you will need to register first on line and obtain your unique password.
