ECN grant writing workshop

The last few places remain on the 'ECN grant writing workshop' on Wednesday 2 October.

This is to coincide with a number of upcoming fellowship and project grant deadlines from November to January.

The aim of the half-day session is to help early career investigators improve their applications for funding, whether project grants or fellowships. It will be a peer-led session in which participants will give and receive feedback on grant and fellowship applications in the style of a committee meeting at a funding body, with oversight from Professor Michael Hausser and Professor Anne Stephenson.

Send any expressions of interest in attending the course to mala.shah(@)ucl.ac.uk. You will be required to submit your scientific and lay abstract and research proposal approximately 7-10 days before the workshop.

To participate in this workshop, every participant must provide an abstract, lay summary and full scientific proposal (it may be a preliminary application) for either a grant application or a fellowship application at the point of registration. Costings are NOT required.

Attendance to the workshop is free, but registration is required.
