12 December 2017, 2.00 – 4.00pm
Venue: tbc (Canterbury Campus)
This Grants Factory session will provide an insight into how the AHRC assesses applications. It will consist of two parts:
- Firstly, two experienced panellists, Dr Simon Kirchin (Dean of Humanities and SECL) and Prof Gordon Lynch (SECL) will give an overview of the priorities and processes of the AHRC, outlining how your proposal will be assessed;
- Secondly, Simon and Gordon will lead a ‘mock’ panel, at which you will assess, discuss and rank a number of real applications, and decide which should be funded. This is invaluable to help understand the issues and difficulties faced by the AHRC panels, which will, in turn, help you to focus and draft your application more effectively.
Given the nature of the mock panel exercise, places are strictly limited, and allocated on a first come, first served basis, although priority will be given to those currently working on an application.
Refreshments will be provided. Do let me know if you would like to take part.
