Comments on our research bidding seminars:
'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..... I have now learned from ESRC that my fellowship application was successful, and I will start with the fellowship sometime 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.
