Dr Yvonne Couch - Money Management

Dr Yvonne Couch, narrates her blog written for the Dementia Researcher website.

OK so this one is going to be dull (Yvonne's words, not ours). There, I’ve said it. There will be no humour, no fun historical factoids and nothing exotic or interesting that you might use as pre-dinner conversation starters. But planning a budget for a grant is something that young researchers aren’t inherently prepared for, we often have no formal training and end up making it up as we go along. So in this blog Yvonne will give you some of my, albeit limited, experience in this area of academic life.

In order to make this easier we’ll split this into small grants, things that are less than 10k, medium grants of around 250k and large grants of more than 1 million. All of this is UK pounds by the way so if you’re listening in other countries the same rules apply just go in and change the numbers - so get your spreadsheets ready if you're in the middle of a grant application.

It is her passion for problem solving and love of science that drives her, in advancing our knowledge of disease.
