Current BUFI research projects
Currently BUFI supports around 70 projects. Most of these are PhD studentships, but we also support peer-to-peer collaborations between BGS staff and academics, and this can include short-term (six to twelve month) post doctoral research assistantships. We also give limited funding to masters students who undertake their research project with BGS.
