This case deals with the redesign of a standard telecourse - printed material, professional studio video recordings and phone tutoring – into an online course. The redesign involved an adjunct professor in the Humanities having some experience in distance education but little with learning technologies. It was a two-year project including the grant application process. The main issues included replacing television-based content with multimedia content; understanding the complexity of interactions between materials, students, and tutors; and adapting traditional assessment approaches to online instruments and methods.

The article presents selected problems connected with the accomplishment of the research grant ‘Application of reclaimed materials’ as part of the joint project Development of Road Innovations (RID) co-financed by the National Centre of Research and Development as well as the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways. The main aim of the project was to analyse possibilities of application of reclaimed concrete obtained from the demolition waste from the existing roads to produce new layers of road pavements. The article presents selected test results which show the influence of the reclaimed concrete content on the strength parameters of the MCE mixtures. Significant variation of the tested MCE mixtures properties depending on the percentage of the reclaimed material has been indicated. It has been suggested that new tests should be implemented in the process of MCE mixtures design process. An optimal content of reclaimed concrete has been determined in order to obtain required values of the analysed parameters. The application of reclaimed concrete in conventional MCE mixtures made it possible to achieve positive economical and environmental effects.

Fundamental to many projects, a research grant application outlines a research question to be explored as well as its importance and scholarly contribution. This article’s aim is to explore this transition from the grant application to the actual funded research work by examining the experience of INKE, a large interdisciplinary research team. After more than five years of planning and funding success, the research team needed to develop more specific procedures and policies that would facilitate their collaboration than had been outlined in the grant application. Issues under consideration included governance documents, intellectual property policies, leave/exit policies, planning processes, and the inclusion of new researchers and partners. This article will conclude with recommendations on transition and process planning for research teams to ensure effective research collaboration.
