Research Focus Newsletter

Research Focus is a newsletter compiled by the Research Development Office to keep Trinity staff informed about the latest research funding opportunities, funder announcements, and upcoming events.
With a user-friendly design, researchers can explore content directly via links in the email or access the full magazine hosted on the Research Professional portal. The regular newsletter is published fortnightly and features a curated selection of funding opportunities and key announcements. These alternate with Research Focus Extra issues, which spotlight a specific funding scheme or event of particular relevance to TCD researchers.
This is an exclusive service for Trinity staff and Trinity-affiliated Research Centres and Hospitals. To subscribe, please complete a short registration form using your @tcd.ie email address or an email from a recognised Research Centre or affiliated hospital.

If you wish to unsubscribe, please click on the link 'unsubscribe from this list' at the end of the Research Focus email or contact the Research Development Office research.office@tcd.ie.

Research Professional

ResearchProfessional.com is an online database of research funding opportunities and a source of international research policy and practice news, with an email alert service. It provides a summary of significant recent research funding opportunities and approaching deadlines. TCD has an institutional subscription and all our staff and students have access to the service through the Trinity College Dublin site licence.

The service allows users to:

• search thousands of open calls from Irish, UK, EU and global funders;
• save time building customised searches;
• receive weekly email alerts, tailored to your interests;
• access the latest issue of Research Fortnight;
• share any relevant content with colleagues.

All our staff and students have access to the service through the Trinity College Dublin site licence.
Individuals can register and create a Research Professional account, using their TCD email address from any computer with a Trinity IP address. Users can then access the service, bookmark content, set up personal saved searches and activate the email alerts function.
