BCF Grant Application Course

Improve your grant writing skills and take your academic career to the next level

The grant application landscape is getting increasingly competitive, therefore its all the more important to start working early on your grant writing skills.
A good place to do so would be the BCF Grant Application Course on 16-17 January 2020 in Amsterdam. Here PhD students and postdocs can enhance their academic career prospects by improving their grant writing skills.

Since the success of an academic career in nearly every stage is highly dependent on the success in applying for grants, grant writing is an essential skill to learn for aspiring academics. Scientists are often extensively trained in writing scientific articles, however there are substantial differences between writing articles and writing grant applications.

During this course you will learn how to:
– Find the most fitting funding opportunity
– Pick a suitable grant topic
– Write an appealing grant summary and receive feedback on your summary
– Structure your grant and write an appealing personal statement
– Prepare for your grant interview

During this course you will have the opportunity to learn from seasoned academic scientists with impressive grant track records, grant application experts who have reviewed and submitted hundreds of grants, assessors from funding bodies and many more.

Do you want to learn how to write a successful grant? Then register for the BCF Grant Application Course! Registration deadline is 15 October (early-bird) and 19 December (final deadline) but register quickly since the spots are limited because we aim to keep the class sizes small to allow for optimal personal feedback and interaction.
