5 1. Apply expertise to real-world problem For funders, real-world relevance of your research may be at least as important as its theoretical contribution Start your grant proposal with the importance of the realworld problem, citing Official statistics on lives or money lost etc. Policy goals for tackling the problem as posted by UK, EU, or other international organisations Argue why your research is needed to solve the problem
6 1. Apply expertise to real-world problem 1. Gabriella uses behavioural decision research to understanding why drivers speed, so as to ultimately improve road safety and save lives 2. Natalie will improve emergency evacuations by applying risk communication research and agent-based modeling

8 2. Involve a project partner Project partners are organisations tasked with solving your real-world problem Saying that you will share findings at the end is not enough Involving project partners from the start increases chances of relevance and impact Contact project partners via others or cold Highlight the opportunities you offer, and what you ask, with room for adjustment Ask for letter of support
9 2. Involve a project partner 1. Natalie involved emergency responders and a crowd movement consultancy company in her EU project on emergency evacuations 2. Gabriella involved Volvo Cars and various transport agencies in her EU project about speeding risks

14 4. Propose limited set of research questions (RQs) Max 3-4 RQs is enough for 2-3 year project >4 RQs makes proposal seem unfocused unfeasible within timeline and budget It will be hard enough to describe all relevant detail for each RQ within page limit Literature review and motivation Methods Expected findings and outputs

18 5. Create a budget 1. Gabriella: don t make promises you can t keep. 2. Natalie: make contingency plans and find out what you can do within your budget.

21 6. Explicitly address all criteria 1. Natalie: In every section of my proposal, I repeated how each of the funding criteria was addressed 2. Gabriella: make sure it is easy for the reviewer to spot the criteria.
