Grant Buddies
All day
EVENT INFO
Are you working on a fellowship application?
Writing grants is sometimes inspiring and awesome. Sometimes it is soul-sucking. It makes us compete with friends. It can be lonely and isolating.
We thought it would be helpful to have a bit of community support as we go through this.
Enter GRANT BUDDIES. Thursdays @ 2pm. Two hours dedicated to grant writing, camaraderie and some snacks/drinks to fuel the soul+stomach.
We are mainly focused on Investigator/DECRA applications (due, gulp, 6th Nov and 1st Dec respectively). Most sessions will follow a Pomodoro approach (some chats, writing, some chats, writing, repeat). Alicia Spittal (ADR) and Urmi Dhagat (MDHS grants) have offered to drop into some sessions for Q&A and feedback.
