University of Portsmouth Research and Innovation Staff Development

We are in the process of setting up a 2022/23 Grant Writing Course. <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/443191797597" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Click here to register</a> We are pleased to be able to offer 100 places to this self-paced online course, to all research staff enabling access for 14 days to video lectures and learning materials, to be covered at their own pace. (Please note that this course is the same as the one offered last year. If you did the course last year, please consider leaving an opportunity to those who have not done the course before.)The course consists of a range of short video lectures and learning materials, developed and delivered by Andrew Derrington*, who has delivered many successful, high-quality workshops for us over a number of years. The course draws on Andrew&#x27;s experience as a science journalist, and explains his design for a Case for Support, the main document of a grant application, that answers the important questions that every research funder considers when deciding whether or not to award a grant. Importantly, Andrew’s design ensures that the Case for Support answers the questions in a way that suits both the referees, who are experts on your research topic with plenty of time to analyse your Case for Support, and committee members, who know very little about your research topic and have almost no time to read your Case for Support, but who actually make the funding decision.The course explains the approach, its rationale, and the specifications of a set of key sentences, which form the framework of the Case for Support for a project grant. The course also discusses how to create key sentences to support other types of grant, such as fellowships. This course is even more useful for senior academics than it is for early career researchers because the design for the case for support makes it possible to write multiple applications very efficiently.<h3>More information about this course:</h3><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UhjbiyvJV8bDiyWZNxjnq_WhhqWinNpf/view?usp=sharing" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UhjbiyvJV8bDiyWZNxjnq_WhhqWinNpf/view?usp=sharing</a> (This document can only be accessed with an UoP Gmail account)*Andrew was a successful academic who wrote grant applications that funded his research continuously from when he finished his PhD until when he became Dean of Social Sciences at the University of Kent, and was too busy to do research. He was also a member of grants committees for fifteen years and participated in the funding decisions on several thousand grant applications.<h3>Important Information:</h3>1. The self-paced course is equivalent to the learning that would be undertaken in one day of training but can be accessed over a period of 14 days.2. Once you have registered your place on Eventbrite, you will receive a personalised voucher code and instructions on how to access the course materials by email. Please check your inbox and keep your voucher code and instructions safely. 3. Please ensure you only access the course and activate your personalised voucher code when you are ready to commence and are able to complete it within 14 days. On registering with the voucher code, you will have access to the materials over a period of 14 days - after that point, the materials and resources will no longer be available to you.4. By registering the code to access the course, we will record you as having &#x27;attended&#x27;. At some point after your 14 day access, you will be sent a course feedback form to complete. 5. There are a limited number of course vouchers - once these have all been claimed, the course will close completely. 6. This online course is being delivered by an external provider. Whilst the cost of delivery and facilitation is covered by the University, as part of the Research and Innovation Development Programme, we request that once you have booked a place on Eventbrite, please start planning your study time and add a block of 14-days in your diary. We also request that those booking a place ensure they are committed to finish the course by the end of August. If you have any questions about this event, please contact risdevelopment@port.ac.uk
