Target Audience: Staff members who intend to apply for ESRC IAA funding
This is an on-campus course.
This two-part series of interactive workshops will be for those planning to apply to the ESRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) scheme in Autumn 2024 (submission deadline: 28th October 2024).
The workshops will provide in-depth information about applying for IAA funding and tips on how to prepare a good quality application. There will also be opportunity for feedback and peer review of your draft proposals.
Session 1 – Getting Started
This session will provide an overview of the ESRC IAA aims and objectives, the funding mechanisms you can apply under, and hints and tips for a strong application. Participants will be invited to share their project ideas informally to gain feedback from Board members and previously successful Impact Champions.
You will hear from the IAA project team, experts in impact development, commercialisation colleagues and previously supported IAA Impact Champions.
After this session, you will take time to develop your proposal before attending the second session.
Session 2 – Finishing your Proposal
During this session, you will gain an understanding of the review process and have an opportunity to peer-review applications, get feedback on your proposal and develop it further.
The first workshop session will include a lunch for participants - if you do have any dietary requirements, please let us know by 19th September at spiral@strath.ac.uk or via the pre-session online form that will be shared before the first workshop. Requests after this date may not be possible to be catered for.
