Workshop 1. Building your research track record. How do you build a research track record? Where to start; where and what to publish; what do you want to be known for/the expert in; funding opportunities; collaborating for funding; etc. It’s a long game!
Workshop 2. What does a competitive track record look like? Understanding that this will vary with stage of career, opportunity for research, funding schemes etc. How to access examples of what is needed; looking at track records of recently successful applicants.
Workshop 3. Presenting evidence of your research performance. You have built a track record that you consider might be competitive in ARC or other funding schemes. How do you best present that evidence to persuade a reviewer that you are a high performer in your field, relative to your peers and opportunity?
Workshop 4. Feedback
In this final workshop. participants share their learnings with the group. Feedback and final input are provided by the workshop convenor.

Participants will be expected to develop a draft statement (meeting 1) and a final statement (meeting 2). The mentor will provide feedback and advice on track record development and presentation of achievements.
