We are running our Getting those Grants training course on Monday and Tuesday 15 & 16 July 2019.

This two day training workshop focuses on writing effective research funding applications and is open to any member of academic staff (lecturer onwards and research fellows) who would like to find out more about this or to refine their approach to applying for research funding.

(Please note that there may be a small number of places available for research associates).

The workshop focuses upon UK Research Council funding applications but the principles may be applied to any funding application.

The workshop is facilitated by the three Faculties’ Research Funding Development Managers and will cover:

*             the current funding landscape

*             insights into the peer review system

*             finding funding

*             preparing your case for support

*             showing value for money in your justification of resources

*             writing effective pathways to impact statements

*             making the most of your research environment description

*             preparing your research CV

The workshop is interactive and you will participate in exercises examining real-life examples of funding applications.  You will be joined by participants from the three Faculties.

You will need to be available to attend the full two days of the workshop, which is held in the training room at the Dove Marine Laboratory, Cullercoats (from 09:30 until 16:00).

This workshop is always oversubscribed, so we may need to invite some applicants to attend later workshops.

Please note that this Workshop is primarily designed for academic members of staff and fellows and any places remaining are allocated to PDRAs after registration closes.

If you would like to attend, please complete the booking form on the University’s Organisational Development website (Home: Courses: Research: Research – Workshops: OPRE88) at:
