This is a follow up Question and Answer session to an introductory video on risk management in your research. This is an opportunity to ask questions raised by the video presentation or discuss any cases or scenarios you are currently working on.

The discussion can cover:

• Risks associated with your research project and how to manage them;
• How your research project impacts the University finances;
• The role of the Research Office and different parties therein and available support.

In the increasingly competitive field of grant funding, applications need to stand out immediately to capture reviewers’ interest and to maximise the chance of being funded.

This accelerated session, aimed at early- to mid-career researchers, highlights key considerations in preparing a strong grant application.  The session explores:

• desirability, feasibility and viability – planning your project
• how applications are assessed
• what’s important to the funder
• writing style - how to get noticed
• how to plan for impact – ‘now what’
• learning from funder feedback

Research impact is of interest to all those who think that their research bears relevance to anyone outside of academia. The topic is of increasing concern for research funders such as UKRI and of growing importance under REF guidelines. This online session for PIs introduces the context and scope of research impact, helping you to

• Understand the different routes to impact
• Monitor and evidence impact
• Find funding for impact projects
• Access further support for research impact at Cambridge.
