Targeted Grants

Zoom-led Masterclass

Our Masterclass gives you an overview of the various kinds of funding sources and investigates what funders want to achieve when they hand over their money. 

You will then develop a strategic approach to writing applications, helping you use the guidance notes and forms to understand your funders needs. 

Is this Masterclass right for me?

Yes if:

  • You're a postgraduate researcher with no real experience writing grant applications.

  • You want to refresh your knowledge and refocus your approach to the grant writing process.

  • You are applying for a postdoctoral grant or fellowship within the next 24 months.
