Learn how to pitch compelling ideas for new projects – and increase your chances of getting your proposals funded – with Scriptoria’s course in Grant Writing offered online over two half-day interactive sessions on Wednesday 11 and Friday 13 June 2025 (09:30 – 13:00).
Course description
This course in Grant Writing is aimed at early- to mid-career researchers who are looking to build their track record and fund their independent research by winning their first fellowships and research grants or the next “level” of funding. No previous funding experience is required.
Over the course of two online sessions, we cover how to turn ideas into a written proposal that is interesting and easy for reviewers to understand. Throughout, we provide real-life examples for participants to critique to complement the theory. The course also covers a host of practical points from workplans to narrative CV tools to the professional writing cycle, including how to efficiently edit and proofread your own work to a high standard.
Our trainers have a long history of successful grants and fellowships, and offer insider knowledge from their experiences as reviewers on grant panels and as consultants who help donors write funding calls.
This workshop is aimed at academic and research staff.
