Event Details

This workshop is for those who wish to develop their skills and knowledge in supporting academics in the research proposal process. Building on the ARMA Induction Workshop, the sessions will focus on costings, preparing a project budget, supporting academics in the writing of proposals, demand management and quality assurance processes. Other related issues such as risk management and ethics, submitting proposals and an overview of the peer review process will also be considered

We will look into the application of fEC and applying it to costing and pricing of proposals. There will be a useful mixture of presentations, case study and exercises/discussions, individually and in small groups with the opportunity for attendees to network with colleagues from other organisations.

By the end of the workshop participants will:

• Have a clearer understanding of the role of research administrators when dealing with research proposals and quality assurance.
• Have an overview of how to deal with staff costs, indirect costs and estate costs.
• Know some of the issues associated with the other costs of carrying out research.
• Gain knowledge of processes for approvals, submission and peer review.

Target Audience
