Course Overview
Participants from all Departments across all Faculties are encouraged to attend as the course is designed for researchers from all disciplines. Participants first learn some background on the different types of grants, how to navigate call documentation, and how to form your research idea. The course is very interactive and groups of three or four participants work together to write a short grant proposal for a fictitious funding agency. Training is given on how to choose the most appropriate funding instrument, how to manage the different stages of proposal writing, and how to ensure good time management. Participants are given examples of good and bad proposal writing. A session in abstract writing is included where groups work together to produce a 250 word abstract which is critiqued by all the course participants. Each course runs from 9:30am to 2:30-3:00pm.
Course Objectives/Outcomes

Participants will gain an understanding of the resources available across campus to support their research. Participants will recognise good and bad writing and will gain an understanding of how to write a good abstract.
