We’re thrilled to be able to offer this workshop from specialists in grant writing, GrantCraft.

GrantCraft has been facilitating and supporting research for over 30 years, working extensively across all funders, disciplines and sectors in the UK and Europe. Their team has an exceptional breadth of skills and experience that has helped hundreds of researchers to achieve funding and project success.

They will be offering a choice of two workshops – this workshop is specifically designed for academics who are relatively new to proposal writing. (If you are instead interested in the second workshop - for academics who would like to apply for significant grant funding from specific funders - you can sign up here.)

This workshop will help you develop the skills and expertise needed to tackle the grant development process with increased confidence and knowledge. The session will introduce the process of research funding from the initial generation of an idea through to submission and the review process. It will help you to think strategically about the planning and preparation of funding applications. It will support you to assess if you are ‘bid ready’, explaining the necessity of networks, the importance of developing a funding track record, and the approaches that can be taken to do so.

The workshop will introduce common component blocks of a research proposal. It will provide an overview of how to construct these blocks, and the strategies that can be used to assemble them into a competitive document.

The workshop will be followed by lunch, provided by SHU. When you sign up, please let us know of any dietary requirements.

Please note: Workshop spaces are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment.
