Do you struggle remembering all the steps to submit a research proposal? The Department of Research has developed a new comprehensive guide designed to support all researchers at Leiden Law School. This document provides a step-by-step process for submitting external research funding proposals, ensuring that researchers have all the necessary information and resources at their fingertips.

The roadmap covers essential steps such as:

• obtaining departmental approval
• creating a project budget
• data management
• advice for ethical review

It also includes valuable contacts, such as the project controller and funding advisor, who can assist with budgetary decisions and provide feedback on proposal drafts.

By following this roadmap, researchers can streamline their grant submission process, increase their chances of securing funding, and focus on their innovative research projects. We encourage all researchers to utilise this valuable resource and reach out to the designated contacts for any assistance needed.
