Most of the Research Councils (and some other funders) allow you to respond to the comments that their reviewers give your application. Often the comments seem uninformed, and it’s easy – and tempting ! – to respond quickly and angrily to these. However, there is a knack to dealing with them effectively, and if you can master this you can turn round the negative feedback and actually get your applications funded. The workshop will led by Dr Peter Bennett (DICE) and Dr Simon Kirchin (SECL). Both have had considerable experience as applicants, reviewers and panel members, Peter for NERC and Simon for AHRC. Their insight and advice will be relevant to academics in all three faculties, as there are common themes that apply to funders in all disciplines.
The event will take place on Wed 27 March, 12-2pm, in Woolf Seminar Room 6. It is free and open to all staff, and lunch will be provided. Do let me know if you would like to come along.
