AHRC-RLUK announce the second round of the Research Catalyst Cohort Programme

Posted By Administration, 15 June 2023

Delivered by the Association of Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA), the Research Catalyst Cohort Programme for colleagues from academic libraries comprehensive and tailored training programme will support colleagues working in academic libraries to make competitive applications to academic funders as research partners and leaders. It will also build valuable relationships between the academic library and research management communities.

Find out more about the programme

 

The training programme will be delivered between September 2023 and June 2024 and will provide participants with an overview of the academic funding landscape, offer a tailored programme of events, activities, and mentoring opportunities to guide them through making a funding application, and enable them to share this knowledge within their institutions and with the wider library community (via taking a “train-the-trainer” approach).

 

The scheme is open to colleagues working within any unit or department that sits within a research or academic library which belongs to a recognised UK Higher Education Institution (HEI), Independent Research Organisation (IRO), or is a member of Research Libraries UK (RLUK).

 

The scheme is open to both RLUK and non-RLUK member institutions, and the programme welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds and career stages. The programme would particularly like to encourage applications from members of ethnic minority communities, who constitute an underrepresented group within the library and information sectors.

 

🗓 A virtual launch event will be held on 29 June, 10:00 – 11:00 (GMT). This will be an opportunity for potential applicants to find out more about the programme and to ask any questions about the application process. You can register here for this event.
