eGrants: online application

The eGrants system enables applicants to apply for grants online. The system provides workflow to steer the application through head of department and university administration approval steps until final submission to the Wellcome Trust.

Most applicants for Science Funding and Medical Humanities grants are required to submit their applications via our eGrants system. However, Word forms are still available for:

• preliminary applications
• Public Engagement grants
• Technology Transfer grants
• applicants who have limited/unreliable access to the internet - please email the eGrants helpdesk - ga-formsupport@wellcome.ac.uk - if this is the case.

If you haven't applied using eGrants before, here is what you need to do:

• make sure your institution (or the institution that would be administering the grant, if you are not already based there) is registered with us
• access eGrants and fill in a home page for yourself (this will include your personal details that can be downloaded onto future application forms).

Other people - such as coapplicants - will need to fill in details too.

The benefits of our eGrants system include:

• better functionality
• clear sign off process through the host institution
• reduced administration at the Trust
• helping us to capture management information (useful for us and useful for you).
