Top 13 bronne om u te help om navorsingsfondse maklik te bekom
Die aanpak van navorsing bied die geleentheid om idees waaroor u hartstogtelik voel, te ondersoek en te verken en ook om dalk oplossings te vind vir die uitdagings en probleme wat ons in die 21ste eeu in die gesig staar. Alvorens u egter u navorsing kan aanpak, benodig u geld. Die identifisering en verkryging van navorsingsfondse kan egter tydrowend, moeisaam en soms effens gekompliseerd wees, maar die verkryging van fondse en die regte organisasie om u navorsing te ondersteun is die enigste manier om ’n begin te maak. Daar is verskillende befondsingsgeleenthede tot u beskikking, maar u moet ondersoek instel en die vereiste prosedures volg om die fondse te bekom. Die Departement Navorsing- en Innovasie-ondersteuning (NIO) stel ’n aantal bronne op www.upnavorsing.co.za beskikbaar ten einde hierdie moeisame proses te vergemaklik deur u vanaf die aanvanklike stap om befondsing te vind tot by die ondertekening van die befondsingsooreenkoms te help.
