Underpining these strategic priorities are three further themes: knowledge exchange, innovation and skills, exploiting new ways of working and partnerships.
More detail on these themes is available via the link above.
Staff can put themselves forward to stand on any of the bodies mentioned above. Details of how to do so are available here.
Today we announced a new programme of events to support all staff applying for research funding. This will be led by a group of senior academics with extensive experience in winning funding, sitting on grant committees and coaching colleagues. The programme includes master classes, practical workshops and mock panel events, as follows:
Master Classes: what the guidance doesn’t tell you
Keynes, LT3 2.00-3.00pm
Grants Factory Workshops: the grant-writer’s toolkit
Led by Prof. David Shemmings
Peer Review Panels: test drive your project
Each of these lunchtime events takes less than 90 minutes, needs no advance preparation and will be led by senior academics with experience of the relevant funding panel.
Full details will be available later in the week on the Research Services website; in the meantime contact the Research Funding Officer for your Faculty for further information:
