Announcing the Lumivero Research Grant for
Early Career Researchers

Often the most innovative research comes from those just starting their careers. As such, Lumivero is thrilled to be supporting the next generation of researchers working to make a positive impact on our world. We recognize that early career researchers often find it difficult to access research grants as they must compete with established scholars, which is why Lumivero has established this grant just for academics who have recently received their doctorate.

2024 Theme: Research Excellence that Impacts Our World

Lumivero’s Research Grant for Early Career Researchers will award $20,000 USD in funding over two years to an early career researcher making a positive impact in the world with a research project that uses NVivo, Citavi, or XLSTAT, shows promise and a contribution to knowledge, and a commitment to our theme: Research Excellence that Impacts Our World.

Research Excellence that Impacts Our World:

Whether it is research to support people and communities or to save our environment, Lumivero’s research tools empower researchers to make a positive impact in our world. In 2024, we will award our grant to a researcher who shares Lumivero’s commitment to improving the world through research excellence.

A limited number of second-tier awards will be awarded to top applicants not selected for the main prize.

Dr. Xanne Janssen - 2022 Grant Winner

Dr. Xanne Janssen, Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychological Sciences and Health at the University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom, was awarded the 2022 Early Career Research Grant. Her mixed methods study, Parents’ Barriers and Facilitators to Building Better Days, aims to help families, particularly those in deprived areas, to reduce obesity in their children by developing a “better day”.

The concept of a “better day” is based on the World Health Organization’s approach to preventing childhood obesity in under-5s using a simple 24-hour movement behaviors framework which assesses sleep, physical, and sedentary activities. Janssen’s research aims to contribute to our understanding of delivering the “better day” concept – and the barriers which stand in parents’ way.

We spoke to Janssen and her research assistant, Andrew Dalziell, at the University – you can see the full video here. Read more about Janssen in our blog post here.
