Bid-writing Bootcamp

This two-day bootcamp will hone skills in writing research grant applications for the ESRC, AHRC and Leverhulme Trust.  This is a practical workshop in which those attending will work on a ‘live’ research proposal for submission this academic year. Participants will have the opportunity for dedicated writing time and tailored input from a Panel of senior academics with a track record of successful applications and grant review experience. The panel will advise, assist and discuss the development of the proposals with their advice tailored to the requirements of the target funding body of each participant.

The programme for the Bid-writing Bootcamp is yet to be confirmed, but will include Methods, Impact, the University of Nottingham's Peer Review College and an opportunity to participate in a 'Costing a proposal' surgery.

To apply for a place at the workshop academics need to submit an outline proposal, 2pp max written to the following headings:

• Funder
• Scheme
• Title of project
• Aim/objectives
• Collaborators (where appropriate)
• Outputs 
• Impact (for AHRC/ESRC applications only)

Deadline for receipt of proposals is yet to be confirmed, but likely to be a fortnight in advance of the sessions.
