Main Responsibilities

Together, the Research Funding Officers will administer and manage the entire grants management life cycle, both pre- and post-award. The charity has a number of grant funding schemes, including career awards, larger project grants and strategic research, and you will be central in the delivery of these. You will be the primary point of contact for applicants and other stakeholders throughout the grant management process, ensuring that they are supported and any support is managed in a professional and timely manner, including communicating feedback to applicants on funding proposals. As part of the grant management process, you will become proficient in using the grant management system which will involve building application forms, setting up funding rounds and review panels and troubleshooting when required. You will be responsible for the involvement of people affected by diabetes in the various funding schemes.

* A strong interest in scientific and clinical research. An understanding of research funding processes is desirable.
* Excellent organisational and time management skills, and the ability to deliver rigorous processes, work proactively, independently and in a team are essential.
