Irish Research Council

The grants management system is currently experiencing heavy server traffic so it is strongly encouraged that application and reference forms are submitted at least six hours in advance of the relevant deadline.

Welcome to the Irish Research Council’s grants management system. Please ensure you add ircapps@research.ie to your contacts before you attempt the registration process.

The Irish Research Council manages a suite of interlinked programmes funding researchers across all career stages and disciplines. Full details of these funding opportunities are available on Research.ie

Gender Categories

‘Woman’, ‘man’, ‘gender non-binary', ‘other’ and ‘prefer not to say’ are now offered as gender identifiers to users of the Irish Research Council’s grants management system.

The Irish Research Council invites all users, past and present, to login to their profile and update their gender categorisation as they see fit.
