About the Funder Engagement category

This sub-category is for sharing information and experiences about how research funders are embedding sustainability into grants and reporting. Topics may include:

  • UKRI, Wellcome, CRUK, EMBO and other funder requirements

  • Sustainability criteria in grant applications and award conditions

  • How to support researchers in meeting funder expectations

  • Sector-wide alignment (Concordat, REF, Research England)

  • Case studies of successful approaches to embedding sustainability in bids

This complements Funder Reporting Requirements (under Reporting & Compliance), which looks at how to evidence compliance. Funder Engagement focuses on relationships and dialogue with funders.
