The Isaac Newton Trust provides financial support for high-quality research and educational projects across all subjects in the University of Cambridge. Since its foundation in 1988, the Trust has funded many hundreds of researchers, mainly at postdoctoral level.
The Trust has only modest resources and must be viewed as a funder of last resort. The Trustees therefore expect all reasonable attempts to have been made by applicants to secure funding from other sources before an application is made to the Trust.
Before applying:
1) Read our Guiding Principles
