Summary:
Whether you are an early career researcher, a new faculty member, making pathways to enter academia, or somewhere in between, financing and managing your emerging program of research is a topic requiring planning ahead and mapping out of processes. In this discussion between Dr. Vicky Bungay and Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Dr. Shahin Kassam, two core areas are examined: (i) preparing for grant submission, and (ii) managing a successful grant. Engaging with each other’s grant development and management experiences, this discussion will follow a journey that highlights core considerations for grant preparation. It also moves through management of a successful grant including finance, human resources, and knowledge creation. From discussing practical strategies to engaging with thoughtful processes, this presentation is a pragmatic exploration of iteratively traversing through the A to Z’s of research grants and the “now-what’s” of putting that grant into action.
