The Research and Knowledge Exchange Development Framework is a programme of training and development opportunities available to all members of staff regardless of what level they have attained in their academic career. It provides several pathways of opportunity depending on what interests you. We will soon be launching the 2017/18 programme in time for appraisals.
We’re often asked in RKEO what type of grant should someone apply for depending on their level of experience. Our Research Facilitators are only too happy to advise and so do get in touch with them. You may find the below illustration helpful in guiding you to the choices that are right for you (a larger version is available on MyBU). Also, standard calls for proposals from major funders can be found here.
