Coaching Support

RCA provides research career coaching for individual researchers to support specific projects such as grant or promotion applications and to do this within the context of an assessment of their overall career plans. The needs of researchers are determined by the coach in consultation with the researcher and an assessment of the researcher’s circumstances using the RCA Coaching Framework. Coaching is normally 3 one hour sessions over 6-9 months, to enable work to be undertaken between sessions. RCA Tip Sheets give written information to supplement the guidance provided by the coach.
