The FP7 Coach: vehicle to success
An eBook to support your efforts during FP7 projects!
Built around six distinctive phases that are valid for each FP7 project, The FP7 Coach: vehicle to success will explain to researchers and others interested in obtaining FP7 research funding, how to prepare an FP7 grant proposal that will maximise their chances of success. In addition, this book describes how – once a contract has been established with the Commission – to carry out complex matters such as project management in FP7, as well as the administrative, legal, and regulatory aspects of FP7. Administrative and financial burdens can become a bureaucratic nightmare if the rules of the game are neglected, ignored, or misunderstood. With the aid of The FP7 Coach: vehicle to success, researchers and research managers will be able to spend more time working on their projects, instead of worrying about FP7 administration and paper work.
Full of “how to” information, this eBook is an indispensable help to every research organisation interested in the Seventh Framework Programme, from writing FP7 proposals to R&D project management in FP7.
The FP7 Coach: vehicle to success is not a book to read from cover to cover. It provides quick overviews as well as detailed information with a strong emphasis on "how to".
Clear flow charts, tables and checklists help to absorb the information quickly and to understand the links between the different sections, thus ensuring that the big picture remains visible, while essential details are provided.
With contributions from experienced and successful proposal writers, The FP7 Coach: vehicle to success brings practical hands-on guidance to FP7 applicants, thus enabling them to increase the quality of their proposed ideas and make the FP7 grant application / proposal writing process more efficient.
Real-world examples provide a comprehensive help and an inspiring source of ideas on how to present information in a succinct and persuasive manner, thus increasing the probability of receiving FP7 research grant funding.
Where further understanding on certain subjects can be useful or desirable, detailed appendices are included for those who want to dig deeper.
