Courses and workshops
The Research and Innovation Team of SDDU offers an extensive programme of development opportunities for researchers at all levels. More information about our provision for PhD researchers can be found on our PG Research student page.
Develop opportunities for staff are currently focussed into the following main areas:
Attracting research income
We offer a range of support for those applying for research funding. This support ranges from one-day introductory sessions to bespoke provision developed and delivered in collaboration with faculties and Research and Innovation Service.
In addition to these core programmes we offer bespoke, tailored provision, for example, we work
closely with colleagues in Research & Innovation Services and faculties, to support small groups of researchers applying for specific funding schemes. These bespoke programmes run for several months and provide support throughout the whole funding application process.
To find out more about these funding programmes, or if you'd like to discuss any of our research staff provision, contact Dr Odette Dewhurst.
