I can\u2019t save you<\/h4>\n
There are serious structural problems in universities worldwide. The number of permanently employed staff is shrinking. The number of precariously employed staff (casual, adjunct, paid by the hour) is increasing. I can\u2019t change that. This situation isn\u2019t getting any better.\u00a0It gets worse<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\n
Unionism (like the National Tertiary Education Union in Australia) provides an organised industry-wide approach to the problem. The union is your best bet for speaking truth to power, whether that be in representing you personally when you have an individual grievance, representing all members in discussions with the university, or talking directly to the government about sector-wide issues.<\/li>\n
I can\u2019t do that. My advice represents an individual approach to a specific part of the problem. This post talks about how you might secure research funding, which might help you to secure more permanent employment.<\/li>\n
However, keep in mind that I write from a position of privilege. I\u2019m permanently employed as an administrator at an Australian university. I\u2019ve been doing this, on and off, for thirty years. So I don\u2019t know your experience they way that you do. Keep that in mind as your read this post \u2013 your mileage may vary.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
I can\u2019t pay you to write grant applications<\/h4>\n
I\u2019m talking about how you might secure some research funding because research funding does two good things. First of all, it allows you to do some research of your own. Depending on how much it is (and how expensive your research is), it might allow you to do a bit of desk research, attend a conference or write a paper.<\/p>\n
Additionally, research funding is a shiny thing to put on your CV. It says to a potential employer that you can secure funding. Every university is interested in that.<\/p>\n
Given that the overall percentage of securely employed staff is shrinking, you might think that universities would encourage precariously employed staff to apply for funding. Unfortunately, it doesn\u2019t work that way. The conditions that you work under may vary from country to country and from institution to institution. However many precariously employed staff report that:<\/p>\n
\n
The university won\u2019t let precariously employed academics hold a grant. That is, they won\u2019t let you put your name on the front page of a grant application.<\/li>\n
They won\u2019t pay you to write a grant application (unless it is for someone else). That is, they don\u2019t see it as part of your job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
They often won\u2019t let you attend training, like the sort of training that I run on how to write better grant applications. That is, they won\u2019t develop your skills in this area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Who cares about you?<\/h4>\n
The key question here is: Who cares about you? Or, more precisely, in what way do people care about you.<\/p>\n
The university cares about you in terms of risk. Because you don\u2019t have an on-going employment contract with them, they don\u2019t want to take a risk by putting you in charge of a project.<\/p>\n
However, there are lots of people who don\u2019t see you that way. They see you in terms of your expertise. You have an extraordinarily high level of expertise in your chosen area. We tend to overlook that when we are surrounded by people with even more expertise. Outside of the university, there are lots of organisations who don\u2019t have that level of skill and knowledge, and would like to have it.<\/p>\n
People who care about your expertise include:<\/p>\n
\n
Philanthropic funding bodies.<\/li>\n
Industry funders.<\/li>\n
Most government funders.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Most funding agencies care about your expertise, not your employment status.<\/p>\n
Think like a kindergarten<\/h4>\n
If funding is going to help you do more research and maybe get a permanent job, then I don\u2019t care where you get your funding (as long as it is legal). Think like a kindergarten. Kindergartens are masters of raising funds \u2013 they send kids home with chocolate to sell, they run working bees, they run fates\u2026 They have a whole range of\u00a0ideas for raising funds<\/a>.<\/p>\n
Stop thinking about the one or two major research funding agencies in your country, and start thinking creatively. Some possibilities include:<\/p>\n
\n
Contract research for an industry organisation.<\/li>\n
Philanthropic funding, in conjunction with a community organisation.<\/li>\n
Policy advice to a government organisation.<\/li>\n
Crowdfunding<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0 micro-patronage<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It isn\u2019t easy, but it is possible.<\/p>\n
Where it gets tricky\u2026<\/h4>\n
There are some administrative issues that you need to think about. Most funding agencies will only sign a contract with an organisation. You are not an organisation.<\/p>\n
You could see whether your university would be willing to do this. However, a lot of the time they won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
If they say no, you\u2019ll need to work with someone else.<\/p>\n
\n
A partner organisation, if you are working with one.<\/li>\n
Your co-researcher\u2019s university.<\/li>\n
An\u00a0 auspicing agency<\/a>, if the funder will accept that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you are consulting or crowdfunding, then you will be managing the funding through your bank account. Be aware that this may raise issues around taxation and, for consulting, around insurance.<\/p>\n
The power of teams<\/h4>\n
Fundraising is absolutely a learnable skill. It isn\u2019t easy, but it is worth learning. However, not everybody is cut out for it.\u00a0Similarly, while grant writing is also a learnable skill, some people are better at it than others.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s OK, because research is a team sport. You don\u2019t need to do this alone \u2013 in fact, it is better for your mental health if you don\u2019t do it alone. Team up with a buddy and do it together. Be clear about who is doing what, and support one another as you go along. It will be more fun, and you\u2019ll probably have a better chance of success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
