Hello #AcademicMastodon #MastodonAcademic,
when applying for government funding to do research (in the #UK, but I'm interested in other national contexts & policies, too), what sort of 'outputs' are valued most?
Grateful for more nuanced & specific replies in addition to poll responses.

Calling all UK social scientists! Do you work with Digital Footprints data? 
Don't, but think you might want to?
#ESRC is planning a VERY BIG Digital Footprints investment and your input is needed to help define foundational pillars and themes! Please share widely!

Update on our #ESRC funded research project’s first year is here: https://www.appetite-research.com/news. A great year, thanks to all the team for their hard work to better understand children’s avid eating behaviour.
A year ago we launched the #comparativemigrationstudies special issue on #migration and #diversity in #Japan and the UK. All articles are #openaccess (and have lovely cover illustrations): https://www.nodeexchange.info/special-issue
#migrationresearch
We also collected a series of interviews with the authors in which they have 60'' to summarise the contents of their contribution.
The special issue is the result of a collaboration between @iris and #wasedauniversity supported by #UKRI #ESRC and #JapanFoundation
#Introduction: I'm a senior lecturer in #Economics at #MiddlesexUniversity (London). I am interested in the interplay between #SocialNorms and #policies, in the fields of #health, #labour, #migration, #education.
Co-I on an #ESRC -funded project about transitions to #parenthood in UK #SMEs.
PhD in Econ from #UCLouvain (2013)
Starting June 2022, I had the opportunity to build my own team after I successfully secured the #ESRC New Investigator grant.
I wrote a blog post to describe the process since June when I started learning to take on this PI role and build my team. Summary of key points:
1) Trust and respect
2) Know my role, do it well, and not take on other people’s roles
3) Build a sustainable infrastructure for effective collaboration
4) Build a peer learning community
