Funding: writing a successful grant proposal

Becoming an independent researcher in academia is crucial to achieving future success. Part of that journey starts with getting your own funding.

Professor Susan Marriot gives advice on planning your funding applications; Dr Peter Gorsuch will talk about shaping the content for your application to catch the reviewer’s attention; Dr Alejandro Martin-Hobdey will share insights into getting a grant from the European Research Council and Dr Michael Mishkind from the National Science Foundation will talk about how to be successful in their applications.
