The research funding environment is challenging and very competitive. It is no longer just about writing an application and delivering a piece of research to publish in an academic journal. You have to think about open access, outputs, engagement, data management, EDI and risk factors, and governance has increased.
Our Research Support & Development Unit has a number of ways to help researchers write a winning proposal:
- The Researcher Career Development (RCD) programme includes a number of workshops delivered by experts that will help you make the most of your proposal writing skills.
- The Pre-Award office delivers workshops on individual funding calls near to the call launch. The team will also review your proposal and provide you with access to toolkits and background information to add to your proposal. More information is available on the staff intranet here.....
- The Library team also offers support to researchers in relation to publications, open access and data management.
- The "Know How" section of Research Professional has useful articles including "Winning Proposals," "Winning over funders through open science" and "Impact and Innovation". All TU Dublin staff and students have access to Research Professional.
