Making a successful research grant proposal

Repeat of our unique hands-on research bidding clinic as featured in THE

Bring a draft or previously successful application for advice on how to turn it into an award-winning form.

14/15 May 11.00 start

Sarah Andrew, Dean of Applied and Health Sciences, University of Chester

Robert Crawshaw, Faculty of Arts and Social Science, Lancaster University

‘When attending your last year’s seminar on how to write successful bids for research funding I had brought along a draft for an ESRC Postdoctoral Fellowship application. Discussing my application with Sarah Andrew and Robert Crawshaw as well as the advice and input from the other participants made an essential contribution to re-shaping my application. I have now learned from ESRC that my fellowship application was successful, and I will start with the fellowship sometimes later this year!’ Participant 2008

‘The course was excellent. I think it will probably change my entire approach to writing grant proposals and will most wholeheartedly recommend it to my colleagues. So, once again, many thanks.’ Dr. Miriam V. Dwek, Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry, University of Westminster,
