Costing your research proposals

All researchers have to consider the ethical implications of their research. This session will provide an overview of ethical issues and the processes for obtaining ethical approval at College. Using examples and case studies, attendees will gain an understanding that can be applied to their research.

Engaging with research funding can be a highly rewarding experience, but it needs to be understood within its wider context. The priorities of research funders do not emerge in isolation but are based on global, national, regional, institutional or more local drivers. Understanding these drivers is crucial when developing research projects as such knowledge will ensure that the right scheme or programme is targeted and that individual projects interact successfully with funder priorities. This session will provide participants with a broad understanding of the research funding landscape, which will be beneficial to those in the early stages of their research career or more senior colleagues who are looking to refresh their knowledge of research funding. Additionally, it will act as a useful introduction to discipline specific grant writing sessions which will also run as part of the Advance Programme.

For those wanting to drive up their personal effectiveness in the modern workplace by becoming better masters of their time.
