Cancer Research UK (Flexi-Grant®)

Anyone who will need to create, edit or submit an application will need a user account on Flexi-Grant®. You can create an account on the Flexi-Grant® log in page.

The PI should log on to Flexi-Grant® to create a new application by selecting apply for funding and choosing the relevant scheme.

Once you've created an application, the application form will be available on the my applications and awards screen in the PI's account. The PI must then complete all mandatory sections of the form and ensure all sections have been completed correctly.

PIs should add their departmental administrator to the Collaborator supporting role to enable departmental approval. The administrator can then log in to Flexi-Grant® to access the application.
Note: departmental administrators will need to have a user account on Flexi-Grant® before they can be added to a supporting role.

To return to an application that was created in an earlier session click on my applications and awards.

Once the application is complete and has been approved by the department it should be submitted with the X5 costing to Research Services five working days before the deadline.

Research Services will review the application and send it back to the PI for amendments if necessary. Once the changes have been agreed the application can be resubmitted to Research Services as before.

NB: Research Services does not review grant applications under £100k or fellowships under £1m unless requested by the department. See the application process overview for further details.
 

Research Services will arrange for an authorised approver to submit the application to CRUK.

Please note that Research Services cannot submit applications after 5pm regardless of the deadline set by the funder.
