Early career ecologist grant writing workshop
The grant writing workshop for early career ecologists is for those planning to submit an independent fellowship or grant proposal as named postdoc in the future.

The workshop will include best practice and tailored support focused on converting a project idea into a grant or fellowship application. Participants will hear from ecologists in early and later career stages who are recipients of fellowships, representing multiple research organisations and funding sources.
By the end of the workshop, delegates will have gained detailed insight into the grant writing process. After the workshop, it is expected that each participant will leave feeling confident they have the knowledge and ability to submit an application.

On purchasing your ticket Amy Padfield, Education Manager, will contact you with further details. You will be asked to complete a short questionnaire to allow us to tailor the workshop to your requirements. In addition you will be asked the following question:
Please provide a “lay summary” of your research proposal (up to 300 words). We will not judge your expression of interest based on the content of this, but want to be sure you come with a specific proposal idea to work on at the workshop. This information will not be shared outside of the workshop organisers and speakers, but will be used by us to be prepared to give participants the best possible tailored experience.
