How Research Funding Opportunities Are Linked to Academic Visibility?

 Gaining funding for research has become much more competitive. Governments, institutions, foundations, and private institutions are receiving thousands of proposals every year and researchers must prove that they are the best candidates. While groundbreaking research and quality proposals still come first in getting funded, researcher visibility is also an important factor.


The academic visibility of researchers and their work means how visible or easily found an individual and their research is in the scientific community. Those with higher visibility have the edge as funding institutions will find it easier to check credentials, research history and publications.


Funding institutions assess a researchers record before issuing funds. The use of citations, journal quality, conference attendance, and general reputation will demonstrate the contribution of the researcher. The greater a researchers' output, and participation within the academic community, the more believable they are at achieving good results.


Visibility also helps increase the chances of learning about different programs and funds available for researchers. Researchers who interact at conferences, within academic groups and professional organizations will be aware of grants that they can apply for, and have contact information that can help enhance funding applications.


Collaborations are increasing in research and often provide additional benefits. Proposals that team various researchers and institutions will be preferred by funding bodies. It can be seen that stronger researcher networks benefit higher funded research projects.


A researcher's online presence can also enhance funding opportunities. The use of online profiles on academic sites verifies researcher credentials and contributions. Having a strong and presentable online image increases an individuals professionalism and credibility.


While research and innovative ideas will ultimately always gain funding, researcher visibility must not be dismissed as pure self-promotion; rather, it demonstrates credibility, and the capabilities of the researcher to do great work and is of benefit to the scientific community as a whole.


Overall visibility and the ability to get funds are linked as researcher credibility and expertise has greater impact, and so higher visibility should increase opportunities for a researcher to gain the necessary funds for their work.
