The first round of applications for the Grants Academy has now closed.
The assessment panel, made up of the PVC and four senior academics, is now considering applications.
All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application on Monday 30th April.
The criteria for assessing applications broadly includes:
- potential for generating research and KE income in future
- scope of future research plans
- ambition, motivation and engagement
- experience of bidding and success to date
The outcome of the assessments will determine the first members of the Grants Academy, and who will be attending the first two-day training session in May.
Next round
There will be further Strand One training sessions scheduled for later in year (between August 2012 and July 2013). The dates of these sessions are not yet fixed, and will be advertised on the Research Blog in due course, along with details of the next round of applications.
