Origins of the Workshop

ECRs on the EPSRC DAASE Programme Grant.

n Decided to open it up to the CS community via CPHC

announcement.

n Around 100 people registered an interest in two weeks. n We can only do 48 this time. That’s you! n Here we go.

Overall Goal

n Goal is for you to work your way

through an outline grant proposal and discuss issues with others along the way.

n Produce outline aims/goals and aim to “sell” them

to your fellow attendees.

n See if they are excited or otherwise care!

n Produce an outline Track Record n Produce an outline Programme of Work etc.

Components of an EPSRC Standard Grant

Case For Support Justification for Resources Pathways to Impact Staff CVs Schedule (e.g. Gannt chart) JES-form Other supporting docs

The technical meat of the proposal. Generally the very “hard” bit. Track record (2 Pages). Decsription of work (6 pages max). Why you need what you asked for. Shouldn’t be that

• hard. 2 pages max.

What you are going to do to make sure the wider world cares about yoru results. 2 pages max. Hard. Fairly straightforward. The administrative interface to the EPSRC:official finance figures, objectives, public summary, suggested referees etc. Could be anything, e.g. letters of support. Can vary with call but usually 2-page max for each “named” staff member.

We will cover many aspects of the above, but mainly the top three.

Modus operandi

n Mixture of lectures and group work,

and plenary presentations.

n You’ll be discussing your efforts with

• ther attendees.

n This is FEEDBACK and is to be highly

valued.

n Let’s get going!
