What is RADIC (Research & Development Interest Community)?

RADIC supports the nuances of R&D proposal development through the creation of R&D specific materials, aligned to APMP best practice and supporting professional development. 

Initial areas of support focus for RADIC include:

• Articles, blogs and podcasts specifically focusing on R&D bidding.
• Creating and developing a virtual R&D community.
• Understanding and articulating R&D sector funders, priorities, insights and trends.
• R&D themed events and webinars.
• Exploring the capabilities and benefits of AI bid tools within R&D bidding.
• Understanding and articulating Government priorities in R&D and their applicability to work winning.

Additionally, we have some loftier (longer term) aims:

• Influencing the APMP’s Body of Knowledge.
• Developing an APMP R&D bidding micro certification.

APMP UK's vision is "to be the go-to arbiter of bid, proposal and capture best practice across the UK". RADIC supports this vision by better understanding and improving chapter support for members working within Research & Development (R&D). RADIC is:

• Supporting the wider professional development of R&D bid professionals.
• Building a community amongst R&D bid professionals.
• Raising awareness of APMP within the R&D sector.
• Elevating the importance of the R&D sector within APMP.
• Increasing APMP membership from bid professionals in R&D sector.

RADIC seeks to build a community for R&D bid professionals. Beyond committee membership, we are always on the lookout for UK Chapter members willing to volunteer and helping us in our quest to better support fellow R&D Bid Professionals. For example, you could help through delivering a R&D focused webinar, posting on our linkedin page, or supporting Micro Certification development.
