Recurrent restricted calls
Although most restricted calls are one-off opportunities, there are some that occur on a regular basis, which we refer to as recurrent. This page details recurrent restricted calls.
All restricted calls will be announced by the Research Strategy Office by email, listed on the Current Restricted Calls Page, and highlighted on the Research Professional database. Sometimes, the restricted calls process can be strengthened by the involvement of other offices of the University. Where established, this involvement is specified below.
Please find the recurrent restricted calls below, with more information about who is expected to submit to the RSO and indicative timings for launch.
