|
| A project which had accepted to fund our PhD has could not start untill now |
|
| Activities in many countries were shut down |
|
| Almost all the possible funders and NGOs were hit by the pandemic to |
|
| As the research budget of my institution exceeded it's timeline, they did not expaand . So I was obliged to a use my own maney |
|
| Because they cannot give us all research funding based on time taken and covid |
|
| Borders closed |
|
| Calls for funding were suspended or delayed during the rise of the pandemic |
|
| Closed institutions during covid |
|
| Could not apply for scholarship outside the country |
|
| Covid 19 affected the economy hence high cost of living and little money in circulation. |
|
| Covid 19 has resulted inability to obtain patners either locally or internationally hence limiting one from obtaining funding. Again, most countries pumped their funding to managing covid 19 hence lack of enough funds for grants. With covid 19 |
|
| Covid caused a frenzy and although my research is on the health science field, the topic can be overlooked |
|
| Current funding opportunities are strongly skewed towards the pandemic making any other researcher in a different field have limited, highly contested for opportunities that are not guaranteed to secure |
|
| Delay in completing PhD and subsequent qualification for most funding opportunities |
|
| Delay in doing the research |
|
| Difference in research prioties as my research area was not among the priority areas for funding. |
|
| Donor funding is slow and opportunities for funding have reduced. Even travel to dome countries has been halted. |
|
| Donors declined and hence getting even a reply was unheard of |
|
| Drop in economies of most countries in world forced the same countries in cushion it's citizen by prioritizing food security.. |
|
| Due to covid-19, I didn't finish the data collection activity on time which results in loosing the opportunity to get the remaining percentage of my research fund. |
|
| Due to delayed progress, I am unable to access certain fundng that requires me to have reached a certain level in my reserach |
|
| Due to the pandemic, some of the funding agencies have stopped funding research activities, others have minimise/change/reduce the agreed reimbursement for ongoing research activities, so some project activities had to come to a complete stop. |
|
| Economy shrunk |
|
| Everything was curtailed and most funds went to donations |
|
| Everything was delayed |
|
| Explained before. Funding were mainly channelled to only COVID related issues |
|
| FUNDS WERE CHANNELED TOWARDS MITIGATION OF COVID |

|
| I am not as productive |
|
| I applied to a scholarship and told me there is no financial support |
|

|
| I didn't get all the research fund I was supposed to get. |
|
| I do not find time to apply for funds while working from home. |
|
| I failed to present my research paper due to lockdown |
|
| I fund my education so not working minimizes my income |
|

|
| I was supposed to start my masters degree early enough but it delayed due to covid 19 |
|
| INABILITY TO ACCESS FUNDERS |
|
| If not covid ill be taking my phd |
|
| Indeed, research activities reduced due to reduced funding |
|
| It has restricted movements |
|
| It reduce job opportuities |
|
| It seemed most fund diverted to covid19 research |
|
| It stoped me completing the existing research and develop new proposals |
|
| Job losses: The pandemic has caused many businesses to shut down or reduce their operations, resulting in job losses for many people. Certain industries, such as travel and hospitality, have been particularly hard hit. Increased demand for |
|
| Job opportunities are sadly scarce & therefore studies are more of a want not need. |

|
| Less offer of funds |
|
| Less opportunity |
|
| Limited funding opportunities |
|
| Limited grants for research |
|
| Limited offers |
|
| Limited opportunities in my field. |
|
| Lock down of all activities |
|
| Lockdown factor |
|
| Lockdown, finances & means of conducting research & accessing consultation was limited |
|
| Low income |
|
| Luck of partnerships |
|
| Many donors went slow on funding |
|
| Missed grants since they were cancelled |
|
| More funds directed by the ministry to fight COVID 19 thus no funds for research |
|
| Most collaborators were not reached |
|
| Most donor Funds are interested in COVID-19 research projects, best journals are publishing anything written on COVID-19 HOWEVER shoddy it may be |
|
| Most funders were affected too |
|
| Most funding agencies have different priorities |
|
| Most funding opportunities were closed, others closed up |
|
| Most grants are now driven towards COVID-19 related research. Plus some funders have not got resources to advertise new opportunities due to changes in global economies. |
|
| Most of funding firms suspended the funding opportunities due to the economic down turn caused by COVID-19 pandemic |
|
| Most of the funding agencies have stopped funding or delayed to release funding citing the pandemia |
|
| Most of the funding opportunities that were available in the previous years before the pandemic did not advertise during my year and so i have not managed to continue with research as I await any research funding opportunities |
|
| Most of the funds are being given for covid 19 related research only. Any research that deviates from that is quite hard to be funded |
|
| Most of the north partners were in the lock down |
|
| Most organization and institutions couldn't predict how long the pandemic could take |
|
| Most organizations` operations were affected, therefore they seek to recover. in this regard the may allocate little funds for the few especially PhD students only. |
|
| My funder (CARTA) has provided extra funding to mitigate the effects of COVID-19. |
|

| No funding is found |
|
| No funds available for other activities other than covid 19 |
|

|
| Opportunities are few |
|
| Opportunities are fewer |
|
| Opportunities are scarce |
|
| Participation in trainings to be exposed to professors and professionals |
|
| Priority shifted to Covid-19 related research |
|
| Rather not to say |
|
| Reaching project goals and participants enrolments, delayed shipping of technology devices and kits, schedules of activities, limited engagements with partners |
|
| Received a bridging fund from SIDA to support me in accomplishing the remaining work |
|
| Reduced funding |
|
| Reduced funding opportunities Incorporating prevention measures and getting ethics approval Slowed or restricted movement |
|
| Scholarship opportunities for pursuing further students were limited. |
|
| School was closed people can not do research |
|
| Since COVID 19 affected national economy it was hard to be granted government loan or sponsorship |
|
| Since the onset of the pandemic we've not be able to work of call for proposal due to the Covid-19 restrictions. It's difficult for a team working on a proposal remotely. Also few calls have been posted |
|
| Some company was closed while we are looking job |
|
| Some funders have cut down funding due to pressures attributed to COVID-19 pandemic. |
|
| Some funders postponed the funding in the agreed time. |
|
| Some of the activities were postponed |
|
| Some opportunities have been missed due to covid 19 such as lack of work, plus lack of access to traffic |
|
| Some opportunities were withdrawn |
|
| Some organizations are limited to reach out on where they are situated due to limited physical contact hence one is not able to seek the available funding opportunities. |
|
| The devastating state left me incapable |
|
| The donors withdrawn their funds |
|
| The funders cut down funds for research and the university |
|
| The funding mostly require completed doctorate thus I am not qualified to apply |
|
| The funding period ended without completing my course |
|
| The world's ability to handle researches especially because much of the funding was diverted to fighting the pandemic |
|
| There are less funding opportunities due to prioritization of Covid related research |
|
| There are limited overall funding opportunities post-COVID |
|
| There are no opportunities at all |
|
| There has been restrictions on my grant imposed by the funding organization. |
|
| There was extremely no funding and age limit grew over the funding age |
|
| There was no formal meeting to make any deliberation |
|
| There were no calls |
|
| This is because a lot of funds were directed towards covid-based research leaving other important life sciences research |
|
| This needed one to change the research interest to covid related research . Which was very hard |
|
| Time to write and partners |
|
| Time to write for a request of getting a grant has been minimal and i doubt if i have the skills to do so. |
|
| To leave a country to go make research elsewhere it's difficult |
|
| To travail for exchanges is very hard |
|
| Trainings close for some time |
|
| Transportation to some places under lock down was a problem |
|
| We can't go to feild |
|
| We have few working hours to complete tasks. Field visits are limited. |
|
| We have less access to European's scholarship because COVID 19 affected their travel to Kenya and posting of their scholarship. |
|
| We suffered from travelling to the international conferences, such as African material research society conference im Ghana, 2022. I did not attend due to lack of funds from our sponsor |
|
| We use to meet and discuss and write grant proposals, now people are scared of meetings. Not everyone is well verse with technology supported meetings |
|
| We were not allowed to travel for opportunities |
|
| We were supposed to be funded by Higher Education Commission in Rwanda, but we didn't receive such kind of funding and reason behind is the pandemic. |
|
| We were to fly to Europe to on a program do more research but it was postponed due to COVID-19 |
|
| We were under lockdown |
|
| When the pandemic came, u was forced to relocate to the rural area where access to finding funding bodies or work to make money for tuition was limited. Had to apply to a fresh institution. |
|
| With no much experience, no funding can be given |
|
| With the existence of COVID -19 ,it made it difficult to access those who are concerned with funding, some went back to their countries, some died. |
|
| With the pandemic there are fewer calls for grants. |
|
| Yes ,because in covid period we stay in the same place and we are not autorised to collect any information in population |
|
| Yes, we don't have enough practice |
|
| You are not allowed to attend classes at a required country due to restriction upon Covid within the funding country |
|
| application process and coordination has been at times difficult to hold collaborative meetings virtually |
|
| difficult |
|
| during the period of COVID-19, there were no meetings and workshops allowed so it was impossible to get funding for our research except to get a small amount of money to buy bundles in order to do an online meeting |
|
| expensive in terms of means of transport expensive in away you have to observe SOP , give them masks and other things |
|
| fees opportunity |
|
| for example I was offer CSC scholarship but I could not get any stipends because I am not at school and also due to lack of physical registration I could not get any fund |
|
| funders could no longer provide research grants |
|
| getting my needs been hard |
|
| insufficient scholarships availability |
|
| limited funds offer |
|
| most of research and project funders held their money |
|
| most organizations are not as active |
|
| no scholarships/ delay in project funding, no opportunities for funding applications |
|
| no way to work on the machine while at home |
|
| people who would fund me claimed that their resources(funds) reduced due to closure of some businesses in covid 19 |
|
| reduced calls for proposals |
|
| research funding was not released on time |
|
| some obtained scholarships were cancelled due to the pandemic |
