Pivot-RP is a source of research funding opportunities, facilitating research collaborations, and offering insight into the funding landscape as well as internal benchmarks. Pivot-RP addresses the needs of researchers and research development professionals alike.
This case study describes the development, implementation, and assessment of a series of grants research workshops for graduate students, which were implemented to fill a gap in graduate student support. We assessed the workshops through a series of focus groups, and findings show overall satisfaction with the grants tools and workshop. However, participants noted areas of improvement around outreach and promotion and general communication with graduate students. Additional themes emerged related to graduate student socialization and research behaviors, which suggests that librarians have an important role to serve in these areas.
The aim of this compact, well-organized volume is to guide
the hopeful brain and behavioral sciences researcher through
the entire proposal and funding process, from conceptualizing
an initial project idea all the way to preparation of final
reports and competing renewal applications. Particularly
for the novice grant-seeker, this volume is a useful aid
to cracking the often mystifying world of research funding
opportunities.
