\"AMy name is Adam Forristal Golberg, and I’m Strategic Research Development Manager (Research Growth) at the University of Nottingham. Previously I covered Research Charities, and before that I was based in the Faculty of Social Sciences (again, at the University of Nottingham), supporting the Schools of Business and Economics. Before this, I was Research Manager for Nottingham University Business School.<\/p>\n

Before the University of Nottingham, I worked at Keele University – first managing the Centre for Professional Ethics<\/a> (2001-5), and then the Institute for Public Policy and Management<\/a> (2005-2009).\u00a0 Prior to that, I was a research student at Keele, completing an MPhil by research on the political philosophy of John Rawls.\u00a0 In another life, I worked for PGL Travel, in charge of guest care at a children’s activity holiday centre in Perthshire.<\/p>\n

Journalism<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

In 2011 I participated as a panel member in a Guardian Higher Education Network ‘live chat’ on securing research funding.\u00a0 Highlights<\/a> are available on their website, as well as the full version<\/a>.\u00a0 I’ve had five blog posts re-published on the LSE Impact in the Social Sciences blog<\/a>, and this blog has been featured in the Times Higher Education ‘Scholarly Web’ section on two<\/a> occasions<\/a> and a post on the usefulness of successful grant applications<\/a> was republished on the Times Higher blog<\/a>. I was also asked to write a piece on the demand management agenda and internal peer review processes for Research Professional<\/a>, as well as articles on whether or not you should resubmit an unsuccessful application<\/a> and on the ‘Gollum’ mistake in grant writing<\/a> for Funding Insight (\u00a3, so links to my own versions). I’m now a semi-regular writer for Funding Insight.<\/p>\n

In January 2023, my article on ‘How I break bad news on grant applications<\/a>‘ was published in Nature Careers.<\/p>\n

Conference presentations<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I am active in ARMA<\/a>, and was Champion or co-Champion of the Research Development Special Interest Group from 2013 to 2016. I’m now once again co-Champion. I have presented a number of sessions for ARMA, either at the annual conference or as part of stand-along training sessions.<\/p>\n
