If you are like me, you probably struggle to remember to get dressed in the morning let alone remember a long list of potential funding opportunities. I'm creating this list as a reference. I'll continue to add to it over time. Feel free to use it and share it. There's probably a few other lists out there - if so I would love to compare. Obviously, this one is not exhaustive and it will tend to be centred around research topics and geographic areas familiar to me.
