This activity is for Early career research staff (typically, early career researchers are research-only staff grades E-G, however applications for the ECRN Enhancement Awards can be made by academic, research and technical staff who consider themselves to be early career researchers).

This session will be DELIVERED VIRTUALLY - joining instructions will be provided beforehand.

The Early Career Researcher Network (ECRN) Enhancement Awards provide funding to support current Early Career Researcher Networks (ECRNs) in enhancing, developing or re-establishing their network activities.

The awards are also available for the creation of new ECRNs in departments or faculties that do not yet have an established ECRN (please check that an ECRN does not already exist in your area by checking the ECRN webpages).

These awards are specifically for ECRs and not for the establishment or development of PGR (Postgraduate Researcher) only networks.

Typically, Early Career Researchers will be research-only staff (grades E-G), but we welcome applications from academic, research and technical staff who consider themselves to be early career researchers.

For full details about the Awards, please visit the website at https://www.exeter.ac.uk/research/doctoralcollege/early-career-researchers/initiativesandfunding/ecrnawards/ This Webinar offers help with completing the application form, including tips on what to include, and outlines the importance of providing a clear budget.
