The first seminar of the series “Grant Readings: from Application to Report” was held at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.
Addressing the seminar participants, Vice-Rector for Research Yuri Fomin noted that, judging by the number of people who attended, this topic was of great interest.
We have long wanted to organize such readings so that the number of applications and winners of grant competitions from our university would constantly increase. The beginning has been made, and I wish everyone to get the maximum benefit from these seminars, – wished Yuri Vladimirovich.
About what competitions are currently announced, and Olga Tarasovskaya, a leading specialist in the Competition Support Department of the Scientific Projects and Programs Support Department, spoke about the main requirements for applications. Olga Yuryevna paid special attention to the RSF Megagrants competition, noting that the department’s specialists are always ready to provide clarification on any questions that arise during the preparation of the application.
Mikhail Strelets, head of the laboratory “Computational hydroaeroacoustics and turbulence” of PISh, shared his experience of participating in competitions as a project manager. In his presentation, Mikhail Khaimovich showed what mistakes grant applicants most often encounter, how to prepare a project team, what competencies all team members and, above all, the manager should have.
Nikolay Vatin, Director of the Scientific and Technological Complex “Digital Engineering in Civil Construction”, Professor of the Higher School of Industrial Engineering and Construction of the PIS, explained how to draft an application in such a way that it meets the requirements of the most demanding experts. He drew attention to the fact that the list of scientific articles used often includes journals that are ten years old, which cannot be sources of current data. Also, you should not indicate abstracts and dissertations as sources, which are not publications.
Natalia Morozova, head of RSF projects, associate professor of the Higher School of Biotechnology and Food Production, research fellow of the Laboratory of Molecular Microbiology of the Institute of Cardiology and Biotechnology, spoke about the specifics of implementing initiative research by young scientists. She presented her project “Motor proteins and their functions in the cell.”
The moderator of the seminar, Head of the Department for Support of Scientific Projects and Programs Natalia Leontyeva, in conclusion emphasized the importance of feedback from the audience. The Department conducted a survey on the quality of interaction with specialists from the Competition Department. The answers will help improve the work.
Experts are also waiting for proposals to form the agenda of the next “Grant Readings”mail.
