GW4 Doctoral Training Entity (DTE) / GW4 PGR Partnerships Toolkit
The GW4 PGR Partnerships Toolkit is a collection of easy-to-use tools which will cover the lifespan of a DTE from proposal development through to funding end and final closure. These tools support the bidding, establishment and running of DTEs and will be of value to all DTE staff – directors, institutional leads, managers and administrators, as well as to faculty, school, and other professional services staff, supporting postgraduate research activities. The tools are designed to act as templates that can be adapted to local circumstances, and are based on the lessons learned from the full range of doctoral training programmes across the GW4 Alliance, incorporating best practice.
