Newcastle University staff

There are a number of sources of support for staff for research and dissemination purposes.

These come from within the Centre for Latin America and the Caribbean (CLAC), and the wider University and Areas Studies community.

Funding, Research and Mobility Fund Awards

These awards are provided by CLAC and Santander.

These funds provide travel for research purposes, pump priming activities and impact related work.

Schools, centres and institutes

Research is also supported through funds from schools, centres and institutes.

Co-funded proposals are often the most successful in seeking to secure school funding.

In the past CLAC members have received support in particular from the Institute for Social Science and the Institute for Sustainability.

The University directory has a list of all Newcastle University Institutes.
