Grant Proposal Development. How to Design and Communicate your Research Project Convincingly for Funding Bodies (four-day) [ONLINE WORKSHOP]

Monday, 10 June 2024, 9:00-12:30
Online

The event will be held in English and run for four days, on June 10, 11, 17 and 18, 2024.

 

Developing successful grant applications is an essential skill for a career in research. In this workshop you will learn tools and background information that, on the one hand, will help you to efficiently develop your research idea into a research project which matches your target funding program and, on the other hand, to write it up in a grant proposal of high quality.

 

Objectives:

  • Get an overview on funding program and how you can use them for driving your career as a researcher
  • Develop your own idea for a research project proposal into a first work-plan
  • Understand how to match your research project to the funding program in order to increase the potential to be funded
  • Understand the basics of budget planning
  • Acquire basic skills for formulating objectives, progress beyond the state of the art and impact
  • Try out a set of tools to efficiently develop a research proposal.

 

Methods:

  • Presentation of background information
  • Applying the RaumZeit toolkit to your own idea for a research project
  • Group work
  • Feedback from trainer and peers

 

Please note: Participants who enter the workshop with an idea for a research project will benefit the most from its program. The idea may be newly developed, or you have been thinking about it for quite some time. The workshop envisages that you will ideally continue to work on your proposal between the workshop sessions. Please plan time for this accordingly. However, a prior project idea is not a pre-requisite for successfully participating.

We will have optional homework, so please plan additional time between the sessions for further developing your building blocks for a grant proposal.

 

Eligibility: This event is hosted by the KHYS Postdoc Office. Postdocs (who are members of KHYS) will therefore have priority for attending. Doctoral researchers, however, can still register and will be offered a spot if not all places are taken.

If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.

 

The event will be held in English and run for four days, on June 10, 11, 17 and 18, 2024.

 

Technical requirements: To participate in this event, you need a stable internet connection, a webcam and a microphone. Participants will receive further detailed information regarding the online-platform prior to the event.
