Title: Integrating impact into your funding proposal
Course description
Learn how to increase your success rates and integrate impact into your next research proposal from a successful bid writer who has co-chaired and served on funding panels for UK, EU and international funders. As part of the session, you will receive a hard copy and a PDF copy of the second edition of The Research Impact Handbook.
Key benefits:
· Learn the difference between engagement and impact, so you write impact (rather than engagement) goals and can write persuasively about different types of impact.
· Discuss insider tips and tricks, and get bid writing tools to help you co-produce your next proposal with the people most likely to benefit from your research.
· Discuss examples of impact sections from real cases for support
· Learn how to integrate impact convincingly with your proposal, using a mapping approach to ensure your impact goals map onto your impact problem statement, beneficiaries and impact generation activities, whilst managing risks and assumptions.
· Power all of this with a systematic stakeholder analysis and impact logic model that will make it easy to articulate specific and credible impacts.
At the end of the workshop you:
· Receive slides and links to free resources to help you embed impact in your research
· Have the option to make a commitment to an action based on the course and receive a follow-up email from Prof Reed to check in and help as necessary after a month.
Prof Reed continues to answer all questions from participants via email after the course, guaranteeing a response to all questions within one week.
Pre-workshop preparation
For the second session, you will have 5 minutes to read the proposals before you enter your break-out rooms. To enable you to get as much as possible from the break-out room sessions, it is recommended that you read the proposals beforehand via the following links:
Proposal 1
Proposal 2
You will be asked to discuss what you like or dislike about how impact was integrated into each proposal in your break-out rooms.
