Introduction to the UK research funding environment (online)
The research funding environment in the UK can, at first, appear quite complex and may be a little daunting if you have not previously applied for funding.
In this interactive workshop we will de-mystify the policies and processes of research funding, exploring how funding is awarded and managed in the UK and the types of funding that might be available to you.
We will introduce the ways in which funding applications are assessed by funders and the important factors to consider before developing a funding proposal. We will explore when, where and how you might start to seek funding for your research, and what support is available for those making applications.
By the end of this workshop, participants will have:
- an awareness of the key funders of research in the UK
an appreciation of the role of policy, peer review and assessment in research funding - knowledge of the tools and routes to identify suitable funding opportunities
- an awareness of the different types of funding available for researchers (e.g. fellowships, grants, networking funding, travel funding etc)
- identified the key questions they need to consider before making an application for funding
- knowledge of where to seek further information and support for making applications.
