About the Research Support Office

The Researcj Support Office support researchers in applying for external funding of research projects.  The services of the Research Support Office include:

  • feedback on applications
  • preparation of budgets
  • bibliometrics
  • interview training.

We also provide administrative and financial support after a grant is awarded, e.g. in the case of larger EU grants. At the Research Support Office we focus on assisting with complex funding instruments, where application process, budgeting or formal requirements can be extensive. We assist researchers at very different career stages and from all five faculties of Aarhus University, including the interdisciplinary centers at AU.

The Research Support Office takes an active role in the entire life cycle of external funding and helps researchers navigate the funding landscape. We assist in decoding calls and funding strategies, and we collaborate with funding bodies on the development of funding instruments.

The Research Support Unit is a part of AU Research.
