Leverhulme Trust Advice

We’ve just had an email from the Leverhulme Trust which offers notes to institutional approvers on some of the common errors made by applicants to their Research Project Grant scheme, which may prevent an application being accepted.

The Leverhulme Trust is one of several funders that require the applicant’s institution to approve the application via an online system prior to acceptance.  If you’re considering applying to Leverhulme Trust, or any other funder, please contact your faculty RKEDM early to find out if there are any specific procedures you need to follow for that funder.
