How to Get Funding By Caring About Research Software

This slide deck was created for a training from the Digital Research Academy for group leaders and postdocs at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ). More and more funders are recognizing the vital role of software in research. The many software publications at FZJ (see e.g. JuRSE Research Software Publication Monitor) show that this is a chance for us. In this workshop, we will discuss how you can strategically leverage this to secure funding. Key topics include: Recent developments on the status of software in research and funding. Case studies and practical strategies for securing funding. Brainstorming project ideas. This workshop is ideal for researchers and PIs aiming to position software as an asset in their funding strategy. By the end of this session participants will be able to make informed decisions on applying for funding that relates to research software.
