The Research Development team in Research & Enterprise provide advice on drafting and costing your proposal, including a timeline for preparing your bid.

If you need to write about Impact in your proposal (eg Pathways to Impact or Public Engagement/Outreach statements) guidance can be found here, including a Research Impact Toolkit to help you draft your statement.

The Library have advice on writing Data Management Plans, including a tool which provides templates for specific funders.

If you would like your proposal proof checked for English, you should aim to supply the manuscript to Gemma Harman (School Manager) at least five working days before the submission deadline.
