IPORA has two types of funding:

• Research funds obtained through international calls for tenders by IPORA partners who have thought about a question, drafted a project and submitted an application together.
• Structural funds to finance network activities, fellowships and seed projects.

To support the establishment of IPORA, the University of Bordeaux (France) has pledged structural funding of 900,000 euros per year for 4 years, as part of its policy of supporting "Grands Programmes de Recherche". To scale up and finance new Master, PhD and post-doctoral grants, or new seed projects, IPORA is looking for additional support. 

The funds obtained are managed by the university or para-university institutions to which the IPORA teams are affiliated, which have long experience of managing projects in line with international standards and the requirements of funding bodies.
