Application Support for External Funding

The application process

The application process varies depending on the funding source and programme. To tailor your application to specific funding opportunities, set up a meeting with research advisers at MEDforsk@uib.no for feedback on your research idea, CV and other application materials.

If you plan to apply for funding, please notify the department you are affiliated with (latest one month before submission):

• Department of Biomedicine (IBM)
• Department of Global Public Health and Primary Care (IGS)
• Department of Clinical Medicine (K1)*
• Department of Clinical Science (K2)*
• Department of Clinical Dentistry (IKO)*

_{*) A notification of your plan will be sent to the Head of Department, the Head of Administration, a financial officer at your department and research advisers.}

Remember: your grant proposal must be approved by the department's management and the budget must be controlled by a financial officer.
