Writing a successful grant proposal

In this interactive session, Prof. Melanie Newport and Prof. Gail Davey will demystify the grant application process. Using examples from a range of successful applications, they will cover identification of appropriate calls, translation of an idea into a research question, developing a methodology, drafting a budget and ‘grantsmanship’. Participants are encouraged to bring their ‘in process’ applications as material to work on. Newport and Davey have served on review panels and grant-making committees of the Wellcome Trust, the UK Medical Research Council and the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine & Hygiene. They have written scores of applications between them, and have supervised Masters and PhD students to successful application
