Process management
Grants Office offers process facilitation for research groups and research contexts. In certain situations, it can be beneficial to involve someone outside of the group to advance the process. This is where Grants Office can step in to guide, structure, and oversee the work. We possess knowledge of and experience in various situations and methods that we can employ to design meetings, workshops, and seminars with clear purposes and goals.
Here are a few examples:
- Idea development for research projects
- Hearing training, when you've progressed to the next stage for research funding
- Planning and concretising the path forward for research groups
- Evaluation of collaboration between researchers and practitioners (or other types of collaborations)
- Workshops for writing and generating ideas
Hearing, preparations and training
For certain calls, a hearing - an interview by a panel - is part of the process. It can take place at a location determined by the funding body or online. If you are invited to a hearing, you have already progressed in the process, but your chances of having your application approved are greater if you make your case clearly during the hearing. Your presentation at a hearing can both strengthen or weaken your application.
Start-up meetings are offered to all research projects, even if you have not planned for post-contract services in the budget. We meet with both smaller and larger projects.
At a start-up meeting we will present the support functions at the university, and a research project timeline.
