What our customers think

"We found the benchmarking service extremely useful... It saved us a great deal of work and prompted thinking around the critical areas. The accuracy of your predictions was much appreciated."

Dr Elizabeth Robertson, Dean, Graduate Research School, University of Teesside
"I’ve found Research Professional to be really useful. Getting a regular email update of upcoming funding opportunities tailored to my subject area has saved me a lot of time and has even revealed extra sources of possible funding that I hadn’t considered before."

Dr Adam Baldwin, University of Warwick
"Research-Africa.net always met our requirements, but Research Professional Africa exceeded our expectations. The new very friendly user interface adds a great benefit to the site. The ability to browse/search people at our institution by department and prioritise items of content, can be very valuable. Research Professional Africa has a lot of added benefits, and service and support is always very prompt."

Ronel Pieterse, North West University
"I am finding Research Professional very useful. It keeps me up-to-date and well informed about potential funding opportunities from a large number of different sources. I doubt if I would have time to check for this sort of information from all sources on a regular basis."

Professor Colin Murrell, University of Warwick
"The introduction of the new workgroup functionality [on Research Professional] has allowed us to set-up homepages of tailored saved searches and folders of selected funding opportunities for our academic divisions and some departments and research groups. It is early days yet, but it is hoped that this will save our researchers time, as they can now browse and subscribe to these pre-configured searches/email alerts instead of having to reinvent the wheel and set-up their own searches."

Zoë Power, University of Oxford

The Company

Since 1994 we have been publishing research-based funding opportunities and news about research policy in our UK newsletter Research Fortnight from London. Research has now steadily expanded to cement itself as the leading source of news and funding opportunities, on paper and online, for customers all over the world.

Today, we employ a staff of specialist analysts and other professionals in Brussels, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, South Africa, the UK and the United States.

Our newsletters, daily e-mail updates, websites and databases provide constantly updated and reliable information, giving our customers the information they need to succeed in today’s competitive research-funding environment.

Whether it's a global initiative to tackle infectious disease or a small, narrowly-focused grants programme for mathematicians in Finland, we’ll tell you what’s happening, who’s involved and what the implications of the programme are likely to be. We will be the first to tell you the criteria for eligibility, including how and when to apply for any grant.
