Detailed description:
Researchers are increasingly faced with expectations to raise third party funds if they want to pursue a successful academic career. Yet, applying for third party funds is not an end in itself and could even be detrimental to research careers, if disconnected from own scientific or life plans or scientific goals. This coaching is based on an entirely different approach by focusing on past experiences and future plans of the participants. It aims at clarifying which kinds of funding opportunities are suitable for the participants, their respective purposes and at giving feedback on their projects from a reviewer’s point of view.
Elements:
- Development of a short-, middle- and long-term funding strategy with consideration of individual or institutional goals
- Feedback to the participants, CV and grant summary
Preparation:
The participants decide themselves on the agenda of the coaching sessions. They are asked to provide their CVs before the coaching and may also prepare written questions or concerns as well as a grant summary of max. 2 pages, if they wish.
To prepare the coaching sessions, all documents need to be submitted electronically 14 days in advance.
