TREMOR – Toolkit for Early-career Research Managers Online Resource

Project Overview

Early Career Research Managers (ECRM) often enter the Research Management (RM) sphere without previous knowledge of the processes and actions involved in the Grant Management (GM) function. This collaborative project seeks to develop practical tools and resources in Research Management for (ECRMs) with a focus on GM, both pre- and post- award, as an essential function within a Research Office. It will increase knowledge and capacity in this function and strengthen cultural understanding and collaborations between UK and African universities. Access to this toolkit will build the capacity of ECRMs. The online toolkit will provide ECRMs with guidance on the support required by researchers when they apply for national and international grants. It will include online resources, guidelines, practical tools and learning offerings (such as workshops, webinars and/or podcasts) around key areas of support throughout the pre-award and post-award processes.
