About us

Edinburgh Research Office: Growing your idea together. Find out about our role and remit, our people, where we are across campus and working for us.

What we do

We work alongside researchers to grow ideas into successful projects. We provide expertise at all stages, from developing your idea and identifying funding to crafting your application and managing your award.  

We work with research leaders to develop research strategies based on sound funder insights and intelligence. We offer expertise across UK, European and international funders. 

We are enablers and connectors, networked across the University, able to provide the best advice to researchers and research leaders in all disciplines.
