Lighthouse services

Research Lighthouse's mission is to find good solutions to your challenges. Research Lighthouse's main service categories are outlined below. All services can be adapted to fit your specific interests and needs or built from scratch. If you are interested or have any questions, please drop me a line, or book an online meeting; the first meeting is always free of charge.

Do you need help with research grant proposals? Look no further; we are here to help you! I have over 25 years experience of assisting proposals from small individual to very big collaborative to many funders, including the European Commission, US federal funders, and a range of national and regional funders.

Research Manager training

Well-performing research services are crucial for the success of universities, research institutes, research hospitals or any research-performing organization. Research Management and Administration or RMA is a profession that is still struggling with recognition and availability of appropriate training opportunities.

Research Lighthouse together with DrEAMS offer the Research Manager Intensive Training program.

Examples of services:

RMIT-1: New in the RM Profession...
Networking for Research Managers

Workshops & training

Research Lighthouse offers a range of workshops on research and research management related topics.

Examples of services:

US funding for non-US organizations

Are you based outside the US and interested in applying for research funding from American funders? It can be rewarding, but it's also complicated and not without risk. With first-hand experience of working at the NSF in the US and two decades of managing US research funding in Denmark and Sweden, Research Lighthouse can guide you and your organization.

Examples of services:

US funding for non-US organizations (PDF)
Applying for funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (coming soon...)

Danish research funding

Denmark has the world's biggest number per capita of private research foundations, and a complex, but resourceful research funding sector. If you are curious about Danish research funding—maybe because you do research in a neighboring country (Sweden, Germany, others) or maybe you have recently moved to Denmark as a researcher—but find it challenging to understand your possibilities, we are here to help.

Examples of services:

Introduction to Danish research funding (description coming soon...)

Strategies, analyses, evaluation

Since 2000, I have participated in the development of countless strategies, action plans, analyses, evaluations, hearing statements ("remissvar", "høringssvar"). Many of them did not have the intended impact (and some were more trouble than help), but many were successful. I strongly believe in keeping it simple and keep a sharp focus on the intended results. If you need help with any kind of strategy, from your own individual funding strategy to institutional evaluations, let's talk!
