Doing (and funding) research that matters: Small steps to big success

Category 1 ARC funding may be touted as the highest level of research success, but attaining it can seem insurmountable, outside of the scope of a researcher’s projects or misaligned with research that makes meaningful contributions to society. How else can researchers pursue their research goals in smaller ways to allow them to do their valuable research, build their research profiles, and target larger successes?

In this panel discussion, the spotlight will be on non-Category 1 funding success stories, aimed to inspire ECRs and MCRs to take small steps now.

Attendees will:

• hear diverse stories of funding success beyond Cat1 grants and fellowships

• gain ideas for manageable and meaningful things to do that can support their research

• learn how to use smaller funding opportunities to build a successful research profile

• better understand the support the HASS Research Office can provide

The panel includes:

• Associate Professor Mary Broughton (School of Music)

• Dr Sheng Lee (School of Languages and Cultures)

• Associate Professor Helen Marshall (School of Communication and Arts)

• Dr Stefanie Plage (School of Social Sciences)

This event is open to all HASS researchers who identify as early/mid career and as doing research broadly (not suitable for HDRs).

A light lunch will be provided. Please register to attend.
