Good projects need money in order to be put into practice. In light of limited public funding, the securing of sources of financial support – whether classic science-funding organisations, foundations or companies – is an important task, especially in the academic and non-profit sectors. But for many early-career scientists writing grant applications is a difficult task.
Even though there is no guaranteed path to reach the target, the methods and instruments of writing proposals can be learnt. A prerequisite is an attractive project concept. If a convincingly formulated application is then submitted, the chances of securing funding are good.
The workshop communicates proven grant application knowledge. It show how strategic initial considerations naturally lead to the structuring and formation of the proposal. The participants engage with the content related, formal and organisational aspects of writing. The follow- ing topics are covered:
Basics of proposal writing: Strategic considerations
From first to last: The structure of a successful proposal
At times every word matters: Strategic formulations
Change of perspective: My project from the funders’ point of view
Financial planning: What is expected of me?
Grant applications in practice: Tips & stumbling blocks
Proposal writing: My next steps
Trainer: Andreas Schulte, Gießen, studied philosophy and German philology in Heidelberg as well as journalism at the University of Hohenheim. He has been active in science management for over ten years, since 2010 as a research advisor at the Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen. Here he is responsible for research funding and advice for researchers applying for third party funding. This includes both funding for individual research as well as acquisition and implementation of larger joint research projects. He focuses especially on the financial support for junior researchers.
