Research Funding Development Workshops

Research Funding Development: Quiet Time for Writing

Booking now open for September 2024 to January 2025!

Colleagues are invited to attend a series of research funding proposal writing sessions.  These sessions are designed to give you quiet time and space to work on your research funding proposal.  The time will be largely for you to write quietly. A Research Funding Development Team colleague will be available to answer questions.

To attend, you need to have an idea for a research project, programme or fellowship and be ready to start writing to convert this into a funding proposal (or have already started writing).  You ideally need to have identified the funding competition that you are writing for.

The sessions will be two-hour writing sessions.  You are not required to attend every session, although you are welcome to.

Training Workshop: Writing a Narrative CV

Researchers are increasingly being asked to write “narrative CVs.” Narrative CV formats, which UKRI call the Résumé for Research and Innovation (R4RI), prompt descriptions of contributions and achievements, allowing researchers to reflect a broader range of skills and experiences. In this workshop, we will explain why a narrative CV is different to a traditional academic CV, describe the different sections of the narrative CV and what contributions should go in each section

Training Workshop: ESRC New Investigator Grant and AHRC Catalyst Programme

This interactive in person workshop provides an opportunity for researchers who are considering writing an application to one of these calls to develop their understanding of the schemes as well as help prepare a proposal.  At the end of the workshop participants will be able to decide if the scheme is right for them as well as understand the structure and content needed for the proposal.
