Grant Successes

Over the past few weeks I have received good news regarding my 2 grant applications with both being accepted in full.

The first success was from the Social Science, Arts and Humanities Research Institute at the University of Hertfordshire. This was a multidiscipline grant award to foster collaborative research between schools. The application was made with Dr. David Gindis from the Business School. The grant will help pay towards a one day workshop in May/June this week on 'Variety of Corporate Governance: Theory, reality and policy. I shall post updates here as an when I have them.

The second success was from the British Academy. This was for their Quantitative Skills Award, which enables me to work with a mentor on defined research projects that involve quantitative empirical analysis so as to enhance my skill set in this area. I will be working with Dr Chidiebere Ogbonnaya at the Eastern Academic Research Consortium.  The projects include furthering my analysis on derivative claims and enhancing my existing data set on non-executive directors, most likely with a comparative element. More to follow as and when. 

SSAHRI Research Conference

As part of my research grant I have been asked to produce a poster about my research. I will be presenting it next Wednesday at Hertfordshire College Lane for anyone in the vicinity. I focused on the variable of remuneration from the study given the limited room to try and explain every variable and point from the study in a single poster.

Research Grant Approved

I recently applied for a research grant through the Social Science, Arts and Humanities Research Institute (SSAHRI). Seven awards were made by the Institute and I am pleased that I was awarded one of the grants. I shall be working on this project from September until July 2014. See here for details of the awards made.

The picture, of course, is some light relief.
