The Collaboration Innovation Fund competition

New call for proposals 

We are pleased to announce this new round of the CIF programme.  We welcome proposals for new initiatives, across two categories:

Research & Innovation

Education, Teaching and the Learner Experience

As in previous rounds, we will particularly welcome applications from new teams and collaborations, and those not holding funding from previous rounds. Projects must demonstrate existing or potential collaboration between the RBFT and UoR, and we will help applicants to find collaborators where needed. The scheme is open to all colleagues across any grade or area in both RBFT and UoR.  Applications with a maximum duration of 24 months and to a value of £15,000 will be considered. 

Further details are provided in the notes to applicants in the application form, found via the document library.  Closing date for applications is 10th January 2027.
