A new study is calling for participants to help uncover the personal and institutional challenges that researchers from underrepresented backgrounds encounter when preparing a grant application. The study is part of a project titled 'Breaking Barriers in Research Funding Applications: Evaluating Narrative CVs and Co-Designing Solutions for Application Processes'.

As part of this study, participants will engage in a 60-minute online interview. To take part, they should be researchers working in the UK who have applied, are applying, or are aiming to apply for research funding and identify as part of underrepresented groups (e.g., gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, disability, etc).

To facilitate participation, individuals will receive a £15 Amazon voucher as a token of appreciation for their time and insights.

Interested researchers can obtain further information and schedule an interview by reaching out to Dr Fasoli or Jess Riley.
