Everyone’s research is different, but successful funding proposals share a number of common elements. Mastering these is essential if your application is going to get the consideration it deserves, no matter how good your underlying research idea is.
The next Grants Factory session will look at these, and will provide insights into how to get them right. The speakers come from very different disciplines, but it is their diverse backgrounds that is their strength: it shows that, whether you’re applying to the AHRC, the EPSRC or the ESRC, you need to understand the basics.
The session is intended to be informal. The speakers will include Prof Simon Thompson (Computing, with experience of EPSRC) and Prof Gordon Lynch (SECL, with experience of AHRC), and I’m just confirming the involvement of a colleague with ESRC experience. They will give a brief overview of how things work at their funders, before taking questions and opening up more of a discussion.
As ever, it’s free and open to all. However, do let me know beforehand that you can make it so that I can change the room if necessary. In the meantime notes from previous sessions are available here.
