The University of Bath subscribes to *Research Professional, an online service offering an extensive database of open research funding opportunities as well as a wealth of research policy and practice news.
*Research Fingerprinting
*Research Professional has recently introduced *Research Fingerprinting, a new feature providing researchers with suggested funding alerts based on their published work.
Using advanced, highly-targeted algorithms, in combination with their industry knowledge and refined discipline taxonomy, *Research Fingerprinting generates personalised funding alerts matching research interests with funding opportunities from the extensive database.
Your weekly Fingerprint alert
A researchers’ Fingerprint can be activated to a Fingerprint Alert. This is a weekly email containing selected research funding opportunities matching your Fingerprint.
*Research Professional showcased this new feature at the University during our Research Week and provided training on optimising the information for both researchers and research support staff.
Lukasz Slusarski, Client Services Manager for the University of Bath, says:
It was a delight to visit the University of Bath during their research week and highlight how our newly enhanced features benefit researchers from all disciplines. With a strong culture of research at the University of Bath we hope this will be widely activated to further support the academic community with opportunities to fund their research.

Research and Innovation Services (RIS) has a staffed display stand in the Claverton Rooms Foyer all week. This is to showcase the services and support available to the academic community for developing proposals, running projects and disseminating findings.
