Students will have the opportunity to learn about various types of external funding. They will: be given insight into how this can relate to the aims and strategy of an employer (in this case, an institute of higher education); be shown the various methods to search for funding opportunities; discuss forming collaborative partnerships with other research teams; discuss career advantages related to funding. In addition, the student will learn how to evaluate proposals written by their colleagues, as this is a valuable part to understand about the process.
