How Covid-19 is impacting Research Grants?
Discussion led by: Nicola Crawley, Acting Head of Grants
The virtual meeting looked at the impact of Covid-19 led by the Grants team at Sanger :
- What are people doing in relation to active projects that are ‘paused’?
- Are staff costs still being posted to the project and can they still be claimed by funders if the project has paused?
- Are extensions (cost and no cost) being requested?
- How are you managing costings where staff have been seconded to a COVID related project?
How about you and your team? What are the issues you are facing? Here’s an opportunity to share them with colleagues and find out how others are managing similar.
