This workshop is designed for experienced and beginning researchers, postgraduate students and UWA research affiliates.

Effective research must be carefully planned to achieve the best outcomes for the researcher/s, the university and the furthering of knowledge. This module explores the initial stage of research project management: designing and costing the project as well as operating within the broader research and political context. This module is suited to any researcher who is developing a new grant proposal or project area.

After completing this module you should be able to:

  • Identify the broader research context in which you will be administering research projects, forming research teams and seeking appropriate grants while ensuring these support your university's strategic goals;
  • Appraise the strategy of conducting research;
  • Successfully write grant proposals;
  • Plan the initial stage of a research project (the most effective stage), including:
    • designing the program
    • estimating costs
    • providing budget control of the research project
    • operate successfully within the broader research and political context.

The workshop will provide you with an opportunity to explore grant seeking principles, review project management processes and to explore a complex case study in some depth. There will be considerable opportunity for interaction with other participants and to share good practice.

Module topics include:

  • Understanding the Research Context
