Stephen Kemp Email and Phone Number

I provide advice and training to universities and researchers to help them win research funding and boost the impact of their research.Impact is the contribution of research in the real world. Universities are under more pressure than ever from funders to show their impact. I work with academics to plan, deliver, capture and report on impact, especially with regard to impact plans in research proposals and impact case studies for REF.Competition for funding to fuel research is fierce. I offer expertise on Research Councils and other UK funders to boost grant success, from early career to strategic programmes. I have helped academics win tens of millions of pounds of research funding.I work with universities on a number of levels. For individual academics I offer one-to-one support (e.g. reviewing/developing funding bids and impact case studies, funder interview preparation); for groups of academics I offer training and facilitation (e.g. funding and impact skills/awareness, mock funder panels); and for departments/institutions I design and deliver schemes and strategies to improve institutional performance.My expertise is based on 15 years in the university sector covering research, funding development and impact management. My background includes a PhD and postdoctoral research in chemistry and positions as an EPSRC portfolio manager, university funding development manager and university impact manager. I specialise in funding (Research Councils and other UK funders) and impact development across all disciplines.For more information please see my website www.stephenckemp.co.uk.
