Section 11: Planned outputs and outcomes from the sabbatical leave should be defined and measureable (see Table 2 for example). All research outputs are expected to be at the highest quality levels (world-leading or internationally excellent in originality, significance and rigour). The number of outputs should be appropriate to the discipline. Co-authorship with international partners is encouraged. Activities related to non-academic impact may be supported. Outputs should be specified (target publication, subject, co-authors, timescale) and should include at least one published output with colleagues from the organisation(s) visited. Planned applications for research funding should also be detailed (target funder, collaborators and draft title). Planned outputs and outcomes should be realistic, and will be used as the basis for measuring the success of the sabbatical. You should identify and evaluate any risks that may prevent you from achieving your plans. Please consult your Head of Department/Division in the first instance if you require clarification.

Please note that the aim of this is to support the applicant’s ability to visit institutions abroad and is aimed primarily at those who would otherwise find this difficult. The normal expectation is for the applicant to source the travel costs externally. The Sabbatical Committee reserves the right not to award the travel grant every round of applications. Those on sabbatical leave should consider applying separately to the schemes for building our international profile run by the International Relations Office. After completing the form
