Funding available: focus groups for PGRs and ECRs

Applications are now open for funding of up to £2.5k (VAT inclusive) from the Developing Business-Aware Academics project, to run focus groups exploring the barriers, motivators, and enablers to engaging beyond academia for doctoral and early-career researchers. Applications close on 30th May and are open to academics, researcher developers and professional services teams supporting doctoral and early-career researchers at any HE institution in England eligible to receive Research England funding.

On Friday 16th May, 11:00 – 12:00, we will be running an online webinar to give more information about this funding call. This webinar will introduce the project and the intended aims of the focus groups, as well as the logistics of running a focus group (including ethical considerations) and the application and selection process. The project team will also be able to answer any questions you may have about the funding call during the Q&A session.
