Following a successful 'grant challenge' undertaken by the faculties of Science and Engineering in 2012, the faculties of HaSS and SBS are organising a similar sequence of events for colleagues who are planning a grant proposal to ESRC by summer 2013, and who are interested in supporting and learning from one another. This is an excellent opportunity to meet new colleagues and work together in teams to help each other produce grant proposals and improve the University’s ESRC success rate.
If you are interested in participating in these events, please book the three dates on the booking links below for each session date (Wed 6th March, Wed 10th April and Wed 15th May all 2-4.30pm) or go to the DAT booking system. You would be expected to come to all three events and to produce a grant proposal as the outcome. Proposals should be ready to submit by 14th June 2013.
