This follow-up is a list of costs and benefits associated with applying for external research funding, whether successful or unsuccessful. Weirdly, my list appears to contain more costs than benefits for success and more benefits than costs for failure, but perhaps that&#8217;s just me being contrary&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you&#8217;re successful:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Benefits\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You get to do the research you really want to do<\/li>\n<li>In career terms, whether for moving institution or internal promotion, there\u2019s a big tick in the box marked \u2018external research funding\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>Your status in your institution and within your discipline is likely to rise. Bringing in funding via a competitive external process gives you greater external validation, and that changes perceptions \u2013 perhaps it marks you out as a leader in your field, perhaps it marks a shift from career young researcher to fulfilling your evident promise.<\/li>\n<li>Success tends to begat success in terms of research funding. Deliver this project and any future application will look more credible for it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Costs\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ve got to deliver on what you promised. That means all the areas of fudge or doubt or uncertainty about who-does-what need to be sorted out in practice. If you\u2019ve under-costed any element of the project \u2013 your time, consumables, travel and subsistence \u2013 you\u2019ll have to deal with it, and it might not be much fun.<\/li>\n<li>Congratulations, you\u2019ve just signed yourself up for a shedload of admin. Even with the best and most supportive post-award team, you\u2019ll have project management to do. Financial monitoring; recruitment, selection, and line management of one or more research associates. And it doesn\u2019t finish when the research finishes \u2013 thanks to the impact agenda, you\u2019ll probably be reporting on your project via Researchfish for years to come.<\/li>\n<li>Every time any comparable call comes round in the future, your colleagues will ask you give a presentation about your application\/sit on the internal sifting panel\/undertake peer review. Once a funding agency has given you money, you can bet they\u2019ll be asking you to peer review other applications. Listed as a cost for workload purposes, but there are also a lot of benefits to getting involved in peer reviewing applications because it\u2019ll improve your own too. Also, the chances are that you benefited from such support\/advice from senior colleagues, so pay it forward. But be ready to pay.<\/li>\n<li>You\u2019ve just raised the bar for yourself. Don\u2019t be surprised if certain people in research management start talking about your next project before this one is done as if it\u2019s a given or an inevitability.<\/li>\n<li>Unless you\u2019re careful, you may not see as much recognition in your workload as you might have expected. Of course, your institution is obliged to make the time promised in the grant application available to you, but unless you\u2019ve secured agreement in advance, you may find that much of this is taken out of your existing research allocation rather than out of teaching and admin. Especially as these days we no longer thing of teaching as a chore to buy ourselves out from. Think very carefully about what elements of your workload you would like to lose if your application is successful.<\/li>\n<li>The potential envy and enmity of colleagues who are picking up bits of what was your work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>If you\u2019re unsuccessful\u2026<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Benefits\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The chances are that there\u2019s plenty to be salvaged even from an unsuccessful application. Once you\u2019ve gone through the appropriate stages of grief, there\u2019s a good chance that there\u2019s at least one paper (even if \u2018only\u2019 a literature review) in the work that you\u2019ve done. If you and your academic colleagues and your stakeholders are still keen, the chances are that there\u2019s something you can do together, even if it\u2019s not what you ideally wanted to do.<\/li>\n<li>Writing an application will force you to develop your research ideas. This is particularly the case for career young researchers, where the pursuit of one of those long-short Fellowships can be worth it if only to get proper support in developing your research agenda.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019ve submitted a credible, competitive application, you\u2019ve at least shown willing in terms of grant-getting. No-one can say that you haven\u2019t tried. Depending on the pressures\/expectations you\u2019re under, having had a credible attempt at it buys you some license to concentrate on your papers for a bit.<\/li>\n<li>If it\u2019s your first application, you\u2019ll have learnt a lot from the process, and you\u2019ll be better prepared next time. Depending on your field, you could even add a credible unsuccessful application to a CV, or a job application question about grant-getting experience.<\/li>\n<li>If your institution has an internal peer review panel or other selection process, you\u2019ve put you and your research onto the radar of some senior people. You\u2019ll be more visible, and this may well lead to further conversations with colleagues, especially outside your school. In the past I\u2019ve recommended that people put forward internal expressions of interest even if they\u2019re not sure they\u2019re ready for precisely this reason.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Costs\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>You\u2019ve just wasted your time \u2013 and quite a lot of time at that. And not just work time\u2026 often evenings and weekends too.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019ll come as a disappointment, which may take some time to get over<\/li>\n<li>Even if you\u2019ve kept it quiet, people in your institution will know that you\u2019ve been unsuccessful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;ve written two longer pieces on what to do if your research grant application is unsuccessful, which can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/socialscienceresearchfunding.co.uk\/?p=359\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/socialscienceresearchfunding.co.uk\/?p=396\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A version of this article first appeared in Funding Insight on 9th March 2018 and is reproduced with kind permission of Research Professional.
