Tips for Applicants

  • Consortium breadth matters as much as depth, name partners across multiple institutions and practice settings, not just one adjacent university or company.
  • Frame your research question in terms of workplace problem-solving or professional practice challenges; Raak-Pro prioritises applicability over theoretical novelty.
  • Clarify the role of each consortium partner in writing, vague 'will collaborate' letters weaken the application.
