Support for SOAS academic staff

The Research Office supports externally funded research activity at SOAS. You can find the Research Office on the first floor of the Main Building in Room(s) R101/109. We support researchers by:

• disseminating information about research funding opportunities
• giving support to academic staff making external research grant applications
• costing projects and advising on funders’ terms and conditions
• managing the funds of awarded grants
• servicing the School’s Research Committee
• administering the School’s research ethics policies and procedures
• co-ordinating the School’s submission to the Research Excellence Framework (REF).

All applications for external research funding must be submitted through the Research Office. Please see our How do I apply? page for more information.

If you are considering making an application please contact the Research Development Officer (RDO) for your department at least six weeks in advance of the submission deadline.
