Flexible Research Funding (FRF)

The dual purposes of FRF is to encourage research leaders to develop strong, independent research teams by providing them with flexible funding for running their research group; and also to reward investigators for bringing overhead funding to the institution which in turn improves QMUL cost recovery on research. FRF is allocated as 20% of overheads excluding partner costs. Click this link for more information FRF policy v4 [DOC 84KB]
