Grants for early career researchers
Are you a post-graduate student or PostDoc in a quantitative discipline? Do you need support funding something that will assist your research?
Funding to support your research
As part of our commitment to shaping the future of research and innovation, every month we give away up to £2,000 per grant and are especially interested in applications that are difficult to get funding for elsewhere.
We’ve helped numerous early careers researchers with expenses for key conference travel and attendance, childcare and purchasing essential equipment. So if you’re looking for funding to support your research – we want to hear from you.

We want to hear from post-graduates or PostDocs in the following quantitative areas:

Key information
We currently provide grants to current post-graduates or PostDocs who are citizens or students/staff registered at any of the following regions or countries:

Up to £2,000 per applicant; we encourage you to apply for what you think you need, up to that limit. Please provide a breakdown of costs, as we may be able to part fund the request.
Applications are reviewed on the last Thursday of every month. We write to inform successful applicants immediately. You must respond to this email within one week of receipt or we may offer the funds to another applicant.
Due to the large number of applications we receive, we are not always able to update all those who apply.
Please note, if we want to support your application but have reached our monthly funding allocation, we will roll it automatically into subsequent months until we hit your deadline.
Successful applicants are paid directly. We require relevant bank details, which, once received, will be paid into with the agreed amount within three weeks.
Individuals can have up to one active application per month. Any successful grant recipients cannot apply again for 12 months.
Successful applicants are required to provide a short summary of their research and how they will utilise the funding, alongside a portrait photograph; this will be used for G-Research marketing purposes, including our website and social media channels.
We also ask that the support from G-Research is acknowledged in any published work or poster enabled by this grant. Please ask us for our logo.
- The grant may be used only for the purposes outlined in your application.
- Your application must be true and accurate.
- You may submit no more than one application per month and, in aggregate, no more than two applications in any calendar year.
- Successful award of a grant does not grant the applicant the right to use G-Research’s name or logo without permission, other than to acknowledge G-Research’s support or list possible conflicts of interest.
- G-Research accepts no liability for any consequences, whether direct or indirect, that may arise from your research, the use of the grant, or from suspension or termination of the grant.
- Grants are not available to the friends and family of the representatives of G-Research and its group, and representatives of G-Research and its group may not write letters of reference in support of applications.
- If you violate any of these terms & conditions, act dishonestly, provide information which is misleading (whether deliberately or accidentally) or act in a way which may damage our brand, reputation or goodwill, G-Research may terminate the grant and require you to repay it.
- Applicants have no right to expect the award of a grant. The decision of G-Research in all respects is final.
