SeNSS Development Needs Analysis
SeNSS students will complete a SeNSS Training Needs Analysis form with their supervisor at the start of each year. The TNA is compulsory for all students (including the ones in their Masters year), and successful completion is necessary for releasing the Research Training and Support Grant (RTSG). A link to the TNA Qualtrics form will be sent to you to complete each academic year by the core SeNSS team.
By reflecting on their training needs researchers can identify areas for development and then target specific workshops and courses that focus on these areas.
The ESRC requires all funded students to complete this form and SeNSS reports back to the ESRC on how well the training needs of its students are being met.
The following resources will assist with the completion of the form:
University of Sussex Advanced Training
Vitae Research Development Framework
Researcher Development Workshops
National Centre for Research Methods
