Background

Research Funding Development Team, Faculty of Science, Agriculture and Engineering (SAgE)

Our team help to maximise our academics' chances of winning external funding.  I focus on the School of Engineering and the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences and in particular I can provide:

• advice on funder strategy;
• information on funders' forthcoming plans and opportunities;
• support for large and complex funding applications;
• visits and information sessions from funders;
• 'in house' funding information sessions (for the University, Schools and Groups);
• advice on finding funding;
• advice on preparing funding applications;
• lay review of funding applications.

Background and Qualifications

Before joining the SAgE Faculty, I supported academics at Newcastle University to win international research funding. Prior to that I worked to develop strategic international partnerships at Durham University.  This included facilitating research and education activities within those partnerships and international networks.  Outside of the Education sector, I have developed and delivered cross-sector projects relating to fuel poverty and worked in policy positions in a housing association and the North East Assembly.
