The Institute allocates a small amount of funding to support staff development activities and IAHS staff and PhD students can apply to the SDG for funds if applications for external funding, either through their research grant funding body, Principal's excellence fund or other sources are unsuccessful. The criteria for applications can be found in the application form below. Conferences and courses attended should be in line with the objectives set at the Annual Review. Applications will be assessed by two SDG group members not belonging to the applicant's research group. Successful applicants will be expected to submit a short (1 A4 page) report to the SDG within two months of the conference/course. Reports will be available to view if requested.
So far this year (2023-24), the Staff Development Committee have funded a number of applications to support staff attending conferences such as:
European Health Psychology Society Conference
The 44th Conference of the International Society for Clinical Biostatistics
What Works Climate Solutions workshop
European Health Economics Association Conference 2024
EUROGIN 2024
We have also supported applicants attending training courses such as:
UKTMN How to be a good trial manager
Survival Analysis
CCAIM AI and Machine Learning Summer School
Learning with the book: an introduction to qualitative research methods for health research
