Research Grant Development Officer
Lisa Ballantine
|
The Grant Development Officer supports research throughout the funding application-cycle, offering advice at the ideas stage, helping with potential collaborations, signpost funding calls and facilitate grant submission. They work very closely with academic leaders at the University of York and York St John University. A competitive research bid requires a relevant research question, a strong cross-disciplinary research team and good Grantsmanship.
To achieve this, the officers can help you with:
- Research question design
- Grantsmanship from layman abstract to critical evaluation of bid
- Research funding alerts
- Identifying academic/medical collaborators to fill any potential expertise gaps in your team
- Costing of your research bid (including SoECAT)
- Facilitation of research collaborators meetings at the application stage
- Access to our lay panel for input on your grant application
- Early career research education
More experienced people might only require advice on one element of their application whilst inexperienced people may seek a wraparound support. This may include support with advice on research questions, identification of most appropriate funders, building of your research team and Grantsmanship.
