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

Comprehensive Funding Service

Our company’s unmatched funding team maintains our comprehensive funding database, which contains detailed information on thousands of funding opportunities from sponsors from all around the world. From the largest research council to the smallest private charity, from travel grants to industry fellowships, our team of analysts searches high and low for research funding opportunities so that you don’t have to.

Imagine a single platform that could show you every funding opportunity for researchers in every discipline, from every funder, all over the world. Research Professional does just that, with summaries of all of the latest funding opportunities worldwide, updated daily from our extensive database of sponsors and awards.

Every funding opportunity is also linked to searchable discipline terms from our thesaurus, allowing subscribers to search for all funding available within their specific research areas. In our newsletters we provide carefully compiled summaries of every funding opportunity open to our readers, including all submission deadlines, funding amounts, research areas, eligibility criteria, contact details and more.

We provide comprehensive coverage of funding opportunities from the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Australia and New Zealand, as well as all pan-European opportunities, including those offered by the European Commission. We also list funding opportunities from other countries if they are open to applications from researchers worldwide.

By delivering details of these opportunities to researchers as soon as they have been announced, we provide a powerful way to help researchers find the funding they require. Many experienced research managers in institutions all over the world regard this unique tool as the most effective, single approach that their teams can adopt to maximise their chances of obtaining financial support for their research.

Institutional access:

Research Professional is our online platform for institutional access. As an institution, you can subscribe to any of our publications or global online content and receive it all through one single platform.

Universities and institutions can apply for a site licence, which allows unlimited members of the institution access to subscribed content from their own computers, without the need for passwords. Purchased centrally via the research office, many institutions find this a far more cost-effective solution than having individual departments paying for it out of their own budgets. We’d be happy to do the sums for you!
