Capitalising on and enhancing the impacts of early career research

由于一些原因，拟议的课程将大大提高申请人的学术职业前景。首先，奖学金将允许申请人利用他迄今为止获得的重要研究经验。这包括研究建筑中的复杂采购过程（博士研究），以及四个NHS组织的医疗保健委托（最近的研究）。应该强调的是，申请人在奖学金期间不打算进行任何进一步的研究。相反，申请人计划在重要研究成果的基础上完善论文草稿并开发新论文，并将提交给ABS列表中排名靠前的期刊（请参阅传播计划）。这对于提高他在英国学术领域的就业能力至关重要。其次，在整个奖学金期间，申请人计划领导共同撰写论文，以便从与他所在领域的主要学者的互动和密切合作中受益和学习；比如他提议的导师杰基·斯旺教授。共同创作将有助于将一些重要的隐性出版写作技能从经验丰富、成功的出版导师那里传授给申请人。这段经历将对申请人的职业发展产生持久的影响。第三，申请人计划利用奖学金以互动方式将研究成果传播给更广泛的非学术受众。这将通过两种方式进行。特别是，申请人将组织一个研讨会，其中将涉及来自许多不同行业的参与者，包括但不限于NHS和建筑部门。该研讨会将作为KIN（知识与创新网络）组织联盟（www.ki-network.org）的一部分组织，该联盟是IKON中心用来提高其研究实际影响的既定工具。申请人还希望发表简短的报告，总结主要的研究成果。此外，申请人还将组织一个网络研讨会，即网络会议，这将使更多的政策制定者和实践者有机会从他的研究中了解重要的见解。申请人最终将建立一个公共网站，其中不仅包括出版物，还包括简短的文章、资源和网络广播，介绍和讨论他的研究对政策制定和实践的影响。第四，申请人将充分利用华威大学学习与发展中心（LDC）提供的培训机会。他还计划参加由ESRC国家研究方法中心（NCRM）组织的培训讲习班。申请人将选择和申请专业研究方法课程，以配合他的目标，制定一份完整的研究资助申请。第五，奖学金将允许申请人充分规划一个大型研究项目的申请，并将其提交给以下研究资助机构之一：ESRC、英国科学院、健康基金会或NIHR SDO。在准备资助申请的过程中，申请人将得到他的导师Jacky Swan教授的指导，他在设计和实施大型研究计划方面经验丰富，并取得了成功。最后，在整个奖学金期间，申请人将能够获得重要的教学经验。他将能够领导华威商学院管理与组织分析硕士课程的“管理知识与创新”模块（目前由他的拟议导师领导）。总体而言，该奖学金将使申请人能够通过建立必要的出版记录来利用其重要的研究经验，从而在竞争激烈的学术领域中竞争。

The proposed programme will boost significantly the applicant's academic career prospects for a number of reasons. First of all, the fellowship will allow the applicant to capitalise on the important research experience he has gained so far. This includes studying complex procurement processes in construction (PhD research), and healthcare commissioning in four NHS organisations (most recent research). It should be stressed that the applicant does not plan to conduct any further research during the fellowship period. Rather, the applicant plans to refine draft papers and develop new papers, which build upon important research findings, and will be submitted to top-ranked journals in the ABS list (please refer to the communications plan). This is essential for enhancing his employability in the UK academic sector.Secondly, throughout the duration of the fellowship the applicant plans to lead on the co-authoring of papers in order to benefit and learn from interacting and working closely with leading scholars in his field;such as his proposed mentor Professor Jacky Swan. Co-authoring will facilitate the transfer of some important tacit skills of writing for publishing from the very experienced and successful in publishing mentor to the applicant. This experience will have a lasting effect on the applicant's career development. Thirdly, the applicant plans to use the fellowship award in order to disseminate in an interactive fashion research findings to a wider, non-academic audience. This will be conducted in two ways. In particular, the applicant will organise a workshop, which will involve participants from a number of different industries, including, but not limited to, the NHS and the construction sector. The workshop will be organised as part of the KIN (Knowledge and Innovation Network) consortium of organizations (www.ki-network.org), which is an established vehicle the IKON centre uses to improve the practical impact of its research. The applicant also expects to circulate short reports, which summarise key research findings. In addition, the applicant will organise a webinar, i.e. a web conference, which will give the opportunity to a wider group of policy makers and practitioners to learn about key insights from his research. The applicant will finally create a public website, where he will include not only publications, but also short articles, resources and webcasts that present and discuss policy making and practitioner implications from his research. Fourthly, the applicant will take full advantage of the training opportunities that are available by the Warwick University's Learning and Development Centre (LDC). He also plans to attend training workshops organised by the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM). The applicant will select and apply for specialist research methods courses in conjunction with his objective to develop a full research grant application. Fifthly, the fellowship will allow the applicant to plan sufficiently an application for a large research project to be submitted to one of the following research funding bodies: ESRC, The British Academy, The Health Foundation, or the NIHR SDO. In preparing his grant application, the applicant will benefit greatly from guidance provided by his mentor, Professor Jacky Swan, who is very experienced and successful in designing and delivering large research programmes. Finally, throughout the fellowship, the applicant will be able to gain important teaching experience. He will be able to lead on the 'Managing Knowledge and Innovation' module (which is currently led by his proposed mentor) for the Masters in Management and Organizational Analysis at Warwick Business School. Overall, the fellowship will enable the applicant to capitalise on his important research experience through establishing the essential publication track record, and therefore to compete in the highly competitive academic sector.
