The Isaac Newton Trust (INT) funds projects and procurement for researchers at the University of Cambridge.

The Isaac Newton Trust invites applications for the following types of grant:

• Emergency Grants - bridging for salary costs / short underwriting / start-up grants
• Project Grants - initial partner funding for new research projects; plus grants for unconventional, innovative forms of research & scholarship
• Strategic Research Programmes and Projects - larger, institutional, perhaps interdisciplinary, programmes of strategic value to the University for the promotion of education or research;
• Equipment grants - exceptional requests for a key research item, on a partner funding basis with other University institutions, or unavoidable costs associated with use of shared equipment; small equipment needs can be dealt with as part of the other categories.

Application procedure

Applicants need to submit an electronic draft via the Head of their institution.
