UKCGE Supervisor Recognition Scheme Funding

Applications for the UKCGE Supervisor Recognition Scheme are open until March 2025.

As previously communicated, the University is again able to subsidise an allotted number of applications for this scheme, and we have a good number of applications available via this subsidised route.

You are asked to write a 5,000-word piece, reflecting on your practice as a supervisor, and to provide two references. Once you have completed this process, your application is peer-reviewed by a two-person panel at the UKCGE, and you will be provided with detailed feedback. More details on the scheme and the application process can be found on the UKCGE website here: UKCGE | How to apply

The ’Recognised Associate Supervisor award’ is also available for those who have not seen doctoral candidates through final examination and completion and/or are involved in research supervision ‘informally’.

To take advantage of this process, please inform doctoralschool@lincoln.ac.uk of your intention to submit. Due to limited funding available, please ensure you notify the Doctoral School at least two weeks prior to the intended submission date. You will then be required to submit a letter of approval from your school PGR lead along with your reflective piece, plus two references, to doctoralschool@lincoln.ac.uk before Friday 14 March 2025. The £100 fee for the full recognition, or £50 fee for associate recognition, if submitted via this route will be paid for by the University (providing you have obtained prior approval from the Doctoral School).
To hear of the benefits of the scheme from past applicants, check out the Doctoral School website here: https://doctoralschool.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk/ukcge-supervisor-recognition-programme/

If you have any questions regarding the UKCGE recognition or the application process, or would like to speak to a previous applicant for advice, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
