Remember: funding decisions take time! • Some foundations expect reporting – remember to report whenever expected

  3. Pay Attention to • Express clearly your scientific contribution & connect to what others do • Separate past progress and future plans • Indicate refereed publications and present clearly status of publications (paper submitted is not yet a publication) • Include a timetable in your plan • If you apply for continuation in funding, do not expect the reader to know your previous achievements • Learn to express your research question and main contribution briefly - one page summary may be helpful

  4. Research Plan • Your name and affiliation (university) • Topic, i.e. title of the thesis (project) • Background and motivation • Research objectives (and methods) • Implementation • Research environment • Expected research results and their relevance • List of references

  5. Background • Background and significance of the research and its position in the national and international research field • Possible previous activity pertaining to the scope of the topic • Short list of important publications from the point of view of the topic

  6. Objectives • Objectives and goals of the research Should be • challenging • but still possible to realize • Hypotheses

  7. Methods • Research methods to be used • Possibly: research material, including how the research material will be obtained

  8. Implementation • Current status of PhD thesis • Timetable • Type of thesis (monograph or collection of articles) • Detailed justification for funding applied for • Financial plan: other funding, grants applied for etc.

  9. Research Environment • Supervisors • Possible members of the team • Links with other research carried out by the team • Research environment • National and international collaboration • Form of collaboration • Research environment • Possible description of research carried out abroad – mobility plan

  10. Expected Research Results and their Relevance • Expected research results and their scientific impact • Applicability and feasibility of the research results • Publishing of research results • The activity for which funding is applied for must always be described clearly

  11. Others • Do not forget to mention status of doctoral studies – study plan is sometimes expected • Regarding research visits abroad the time and the program of the visit are to be given • Regarding research work or researcher training abroad, the foreign research team is to be described • Regarding international conferences, the time and place, the name of the conference, its topic, purpose, type and target group should be mentioned as well as why participation is necessary & estimated costs

  12. Foundations • Read instructions carefully • Different foundations have different guidelines and they give funding for different purposes • Get recommendation letters in good time (if needed) • Research plan is needed for writing recommendation letter • Good sources for funding for conference trips and grants (full-time or supporting grants) • Information (in Finnish) about different foundations and their deadlines is collected in Turun yliopiston tutkimuspalveluyksikön tutkimusrahoitustiedotus, see http://www.utu.fi/hallinto/tutkimuspalvelut/turatiedotus.htm

  13. Curriculum Vitae • Name • Address (incl. email, telephone, fax, homepage) • Personal (year of birth) • Education (degrees, dates and universities, major subject) • Present employment • Most important posts and full-time positions • Remember starting and ending dates • Research interests • Memberships in societies • Scientific expert positions • Most important scientific positions of trust • Most important foreign visits • Most important scientific acknowledgements and awards • Appendix: publications and conference presentations • Title of talk and name, place and dates of conference (mention if invited)

  14. List of Publications • Articles in international scientific journals with referee practice • Articles in international compilation works and in international scientificconference proceedings with referee practice • Articles in Finnish scientific journals with referee practice • Articles in Finnish scientific compilation works and in Finnish scientificconference proceedings with referee practice • Scientific monographs • Other scientific publications, such as articles in scientific journals, andconference proceedings without referee practice, and publications in university and department series • E.g. Reports of the department • If you wish to mention submitted articles, indicate the status clearly so that they cannot be confused with real publications!!!
