Select funding source
External and Internal Funding
Selecting a funding source involves finding a sponsor with goals that align with a given research project or your personal research goals, finding an opportunity for which a PI or team would be eligible to pursue.
See the Grant Support page for a list of external sponsor funding opportunity web pages. There are also internal funding opportunities to APH.

Distinguishing between the different funding streams
Once a funding source is selected, accurate classification not only determines which office handles the proposal, it also ensures appropriate management, compliance, and streamlines review and approval, see guidelines Amsterdam UMC: AMC Intranet - Guideline financial management of research grants.
Funding for research can come from:
- Direct government funding
- Indirect government funding (e.g. NWO, EU and ZonMw)
- Charity funds (e.g. KWF Cancer Foundation, Dutch Heart Foundation)
- Industry
You can largely distinguish between two kind of grants applications: personal and consortium grant applications.
