[Academic] EPSRC DTP Annual Monitoring Survey

[Gordon Robb]

Several of you will have received an email from RKES asking you to 
complete a spreadsheet relating to any EPSRC DTP studentships you 
currently hold.

RKES is being pressed for this information by EPSRC. Although this 
process should be automated to at least some degree in future, it will 
require manual input from supervisors for this year at least. To 
minimise the effort involved, some suggestions as to what supervisors 
can  put in each section is provided. RKES say that responses are 
anonymised before returning to EPSRC.

Q1 Student Recruitment
You can enter details of all applicants you considered for the 
studentship if you really want to (!), just the successful candidate or 
submit nothing if you prefer.

Q2 Non-research council investment
In most cases, this will be "Institutional" with an amount of approx 
£30K (This is the total studentship cost (~£70K) - the amount provided 
by EPSRC (~£40K - see your studentship application on 
pgrapps.strath.ac.uk if you want the exact figures) )

Q3 Training & Cohort Building
a) Events/activities which apply to most students are :
Physics department induction
University induction
SUPA Graduate School induction/welcome event
Physics department colloquia
SUPA Graduate school transferrable skills training (see www.supa.ac.uk)
Strathclyde PG Cert in Researcher Development courses/activities (see 
https://www.strath.ac.uk/theresearcherdevelopmentprogramme/)

Q4  - Q6 responses will be specific to each studentship. You can provide 
as much or as little information as you wish.

Regards

Gordon
