Grants Factory
Designing a Realistic Research Project
28 November 2012, 2-4pm
Cornwallis NW Seminar Room 6 (Directions and map here)
The next Grants Factory event is aimed at early career researchers (ECRs), but is open to all Kent staff. Led by Prof Peter Taylor-Gooby (SSPSSR) and Prof Elizabeth Mansfield (SMSAS), it will look at how to construct a realistic research project.
Designing a research project can be a daunting prospect, and issues you need to address may include choosing the right methodology, selecting participants or including appropriate material, addressing ethical issues, managing staff, identifying milestones, working with collaborators, and disseminating your findings. Profs Taylor-Gooby and Mansfield have had considerable experience in designing projects in very different areas: Taylor-Gooby works in social policy, Mansfield in applied mathematics. However, their experience will be relevant to academics in all disciplines.
The event is free, and refreshments will be provided, but please do let Phil Ward know if you intend to come along.
The full Grants Factory programme is available on the SharePoint website, together with slides and notes from all recent events.
