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 would like to apply for significant (>£100k) grant funding from funders such as UK Research Councils (particularly focused on BBSRC, MRC, and EPSRC), National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), and The Wellcome Trust. (If you are instead interested in the first workshop - for academics who are relatively new to proposal writing - you can sign up here.)

You will learn the nuances between different funders and the types of research project each funding body will provide resources for. You will develop the skills and expertise needed to pitch your ideas to the different funding bodies. This will include the common elements that successful projects include. The workshop will introduce how to build the rationale and objectives of your research proposal, translate your objectives into methodology, and tailor each of these components towards the respective funding body.

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.
