Research Units

A Research Unit is made up of a team of researchers working together on a research project which, in terms of thematic focus, duration and finances, extends beyond the funding options available under the Individual Grants Programme.

Programme Variations:

Clinical Research Units
Humanities Centres for Advanced Studies
