  3. The Training & Development available…….The SPoRT ProgrammeResearchers at Salford can take advantage of an extensive range of development activities. The Salford Postgraduate & Staff Research Training (SPoRT) programme is designed to help researchers: - Develop the skills needed for effective research - Provide transferable skills to enhance employability - Support thesis writing and submission process - Exposure to the wider professional research environment through conferences and dissemination - Build confidence, capability and collaborations through bespoke training Complementary to Core research milestones The SPoRT programme is aligned to the core milestones of the Postgraduate Research journey meaning that training is available at the appropriate progress point compliments the research activity. Face-to-face sessions run at key points in the academic calendar, these are complemented by a library of on-line resources, tutorials and courses. A booklet of training is available from the PGR web pages and is sent to current supervisors at the beginning of each academic year.

  4. Part of a National framework…….Salford's research development programme is aligned with the national Researcher Development Framework (RDF), which sets out the knowledge, behaviours and skills of successful researchers. For further information, please refer to: http://www.pg.salford.ac.uk/pgr_trainingThe RDF provides researchers with a useful guidance on skills to develop and a vocabulary to evidence their skills on their CV.

  5. Confidence development……Confidence and conference development through SPARCSPARC(Salford Postgraduate Annual Research Conference) is designed to provide essential experience and practice opportunities for the PGR community. The conference typically runs in July, after School or departmental symposia and ahead of events in the next academic year. The benefits include:- Students have the opportunity to reflect and build on previous experiences and a chance to practice and adapt their approach for the next round of conferences. - The critical skill that SPARC develops is how to present research to a lay or non-expert audience. This is an essential requirement for many research grants, sponsors and for career development. - SPARC provides researchers with additional feedback on their posters, presentations and abstract writing as well as the opportunity to develop social skills, networking and potential collaborations and improve confidence.All PGRs are expected to contribute to SPARC. Supervisors are also invited to support their researchers at SPARC over the two days and beforehand (copied into abstracts, posters and presentation submissions)
