#researchgrants — Public Fediverse posts

Our govts are keen to reduce #RedTape for business and Investments arguing it to be necessary to grow the economy, yet the very people who provide the seed ideas for such growth and prosperity are plunged into bottomless pits of excrutiating govt processes.

“Discovery grants are a key pillar of Australia’s research ecosystem, allowing scientists to do fundamental “blue-sky” research over a three-year funding period.
The Australian Research Council took nine months to process the 2025 grants. For the 2026 grants, they are now proposing to take up to 16 months.”

ChatGPT 5 wrote me a grant proposal for my philosophy paper. I didn't ask for it.

7.8: Why Do These Cancelled Science Grants Matter?

In this episode, Christina talks to Dr Gabriel Filippelli - one of the first scientists to have a running project canceled by the Trump administration. This fascinating interview reveals just how important internationally these American grants can be, and Dr Filippelli passionately describes this unprecedented attack on science and education and what we all lose when the work that scientists do grinds to a halt or is extremely politically curtailed. It's important, he tells us, to support the institutions that you care about and are vital to the continued knowledge of how to survive our climate-changed future.

Dr Filippelli is the Chancellor’s Professor of Earth Sciences at Indiana University Indianapolis and the Executive Director of the Indiana University Environmental Resilience Institute. He works at the junction between biogeochemical cycles, climate change, and human health.

Dr Filippelli has also written the book Climate Change and Life: The Complex Co-evolution of Climate and Life on Earth, and Beyond, which explores Earth's ecological resilience to the great changes in climate that have occurred over the history of the Earth. He was also part of the driving force behind Climate Change and Resilience in Indiana and Beyond, which details local efforts to reduce the risks and lessen the harmful impacts of climate change, as well as prepare for the unavoidable consequences of climate change.

Hot off the press - our report on gender disparities in grant seeking at the University of Cambridge (who applies for and who gets research grant funding).

https://www.bennettinstitute.cam.ac.uk/publications/improving-inclusivity-in-grant-funding-initial-gender-analysis/

The story:
1) The structural disparities are big (not so surprising)
2) The patterns of disparity at particular grades in particular disciplines go both ways (more surprising)

Ah, the riveting world of "circuit tracing" in language models 🤖🔍, because what we really needed was another way to complicate things we barely understand. A "replacement model" that makes things "interpretable"? 😂 More like a desperate attempt to justify endless AI research grants.

Do I know anyone who has recently (past few years) secured a New Investigator #BBSRC Research grant? We are writing one and could really do with an example of what works..
If you do and would be willing to share all or part of the application material the #NeuroESC lab would be eternally grateful 🙏

Edit: this is what we're applying to: https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/bbsrc-new-investigator-award-2025-round-one-responsive-mode/

Edit 2: Thanks to you all we've already got 3 example applications! You are all awesome 🤗 This will already help a lot, the last thing we would need is one from the most recent call (Jan 2024?) and as a "New Investigator", especially if you are also willing to share the reviewers' comments which are really useful to see what people look for in these applications - DM me if so 🙏
(It's our first one... lots to learn but not so many opportunities for learning!)
