Grants Factory
ESRC Mock Panel
11 March, 2- 4pm
Keynes SR12
The next Grants Factory session will provide an insight into how the ESRC assesses applications, and will consist of two parts:
- Firstly, two experienced panellists, Prof Sarah Vickerstaff (SSPSSR) and Prof Dominic Abrams (Psychology)will give an overview of the priorities and processes of the ESRC, outlining how your proposal will be assessed;
- Secondly, Sarah and Dominic 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 ESRC 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.
