Funding Management Portal (FMP) adding and editing funds for fund administrators

New

This 1 hour, instructor-led session will walk you through the different pages you need to complete in the Funding Management Portal to publish your fund for the coming year.

This session is the first part of learning how to use the FMP to advertise and manage your funds: Module 1 – Adding and Editing.

You will be shown how to enter your funds into the system to be published on the PG Funding Search, potentially appear to applicants in their admissions applications (in GAP), which fields you can fill in to determine eligibility and how this process can bring your team value as the admissions cycle commences.

The rollover period in the system to 2024-25 advertising starts on the 15th July, and the deadline for entry for funds that wish to appear to applicants in GAP (and be published in the PG Funding Search for the beginning of September) is 19th August.

This training is appropriate not only for colleagues new to the FMP, but also for returning users as we have made some updates to the system since the previous year.

Your presenter will tailor this training to the attending audience to give the best experience, and our team will be available to support you in using the FMP throughout the academic year. We will also publish dates and times of ‘drop-in’ sessions for further support, which will not require a booking.

• Administrators of postgraduate funds
• New users of the Funding Management Portal
