Such support could include webinars providing advice on how to apply for an Athena SWAN award, on-line question and answer sessions, and access to exemplar applications (successful and unsuccessful) for each award level via the web. The effectiveness of the support provided will be monitored by anonymised feedback and reviewed annually by the Governance Committee. <\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Introduction of an on online system with a standardised application form<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Advance HE (a) develops an on-line application process with access via a dedicated portal and (b) introduces the new application forms designed by the Steering Group to ensure a standardised approach to the inclusion of data, and a reduction of issues related to formatting and to reflect the different requirements for new awards and renewals. A separate set of forms will be developed for research institutes.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reducing the data burden<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Advance HE and JISC create an on-line data resource<\/strong> accessed via the portal described above, enabling institutions to download, cut and analyse EDI data collected centrally by HESA, OfS, UCAS and SFC<\/strong>. With the exception of data on applications for jobs and promotion which should be limited to application numbers and final outcomes, all data which are mandatory for the application are downloaded<\/strong> from this source, thus reducing the burden on applicants and enabling benchmarking where appropriate. Mandatory data requirements:<\/p>\n Applicants include relevant additional internal data to support their action plans and to demonstrate progress against previous plans.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Evaluation Institutional\/Departmental Culture<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Departmental applicants are required to consider departmental culture in their application and to include the data from a standardised sector-wide culture survey conducted amongst their constituents.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Simplifying the renewal process<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Submission of Applications<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n There are six deadlines for applications per year.<\/p>\n Applicants normally hear the outcome of their applications within two months of submission.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”off” prev_text=”Previous” next_text=”Next” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_post_nav][et_pb_comments _builder_version=”3.17.6″ locked=”on”][\/et_pb_comments][et_pb_text admin_label=”Related posts” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ locked=”on”]<\/p>\n\n
