Writing successful research proposals

Start: End: Location: Online via Zoom
Event type:
  • Research Academy Ruhr
  • Für Postdocs
  • Workshop
During this online course, the participants receive an introduction to fundamental principles, tools and methods of proposal writing to get their research funded. Time & Date: Mon, 16 November & Fri, 20 November & Mon, 23 November 2020, 09.00–13.00 h each day

Based on the training material, interactive discussions and relevant examples the participants learn how to develop a research idea into a project proposal and matching it to the goals of a targeted funding program. Integrated exercises help participants to structure proposals that comply with funding agency requirements and reflect the reading behaviour of reviewers.

The participants work on written two-page outlines of their own funding ideas (“mini-proposals”) which are submitted to the trainer two weeks before the workshop. Participants improve their mini-proposals throughout the workshop and receive trainers’individual feedback on their proposal structure, content and language use.
