| Description | Theme: Education and Research Category: Education and Research About this course: This activity is for Research active staff and would be particularly useful to Early Career Researchers. This course is delivered online and a joining link will be circulated beforehand. Carefully targeting the right funding body, and selling your idea can improve your chances. Writing the grant with an efficient process can also minimise the time taken and leave you free to get on with your work, or writing another grant.
Learning outcomes: As a result of attending this course, you will be able to:. - Assess what a targeted grant awarding body is trying to achieve. - Work out the key layers in the decision-making process associated with an individual grant. - See how their proposed project can enable the awarding body to meet its goals. - Identify novel ways of accessing funds. - Critically analyse the questions in the grant request forms that they have brought with them to the course, so that they can give members of the reviewing panel the information they need to come to a positive decision. - Introduce some aspects of project management and time management into their grant writing strategy; - Build public engagement and communication elements into your proposal. - Have guidelines for developing a feasibility study that can help assess whether their goal is genuinely deliverable within their proposed constraints - time, money, personnel etc. - Have clearer idea of the sums of money that they will need to ask for.
