Research Grants

Information and funding at the Faculty is managed by the Faculty Research Grants Administrator Maggie Easton. A document detailing answers to commonly asked questions in relation to funding applications by academics at the Faculty of Law is also available to download.

The School of Arts Humanities and Social Sciences maintains a calendar of funding opportunities which can be used to find upcoming grants. If you find a funding opportunity which you would like to apply for, current staff and researchers can find information on the process via the Staff Documents Moodle, or external applicants can email Maggie Easton at lawresearch@law.cam.ac.uk.

Please feel free to get in touch with the Faculty via lawresearch@law.cam.ac.uk at any time to discuss ideas or questions surrounding research and funding.
