scheme information
page to ensure you are eligible to apply.
Only applications which are

responsibility of the applicant to ensure that all
of this material is received by the Academy on time.
The choice of Mentor is solely
down to the applicant but we recommend that it is

staff from your department at the university can be
selected or even the Head of Department. Whoever is
chosen they must be given a copy of the Guidelines
for Mentors, information on the scheme and a copy of
your application. Likewise the Head of Department
should receive a copy of your application and
information on the scheme to enable them to write
their reference.
This scheme has been devised
to facilitate the development of research students
in both soft skills and other activities for which
the funding available is limited or non existent.
Applicants should note that activities selected for
the plan should complement or add synergy to those
available as part of the UK Grad Programme organised
by CRAC. Applicants are urged to be as creative as
possible when devising their Personal Development
Plans. A
specimen Personal Development Plan (23KB) has been
prepared to assist applicants compose their own and
this should be consulted to ensure you use the
correct content and desired layout. In addition a
A
Personal Development Plan template (29KB) has been provided
for your use.
If for any reason there is
doubt or question as to the suitability of a
particular activity or strand of expenditure,
applicants are advised to contact Ian Bowbrick.
