Description
Starting early with smaller grant proposals builds confidence, sharpens your proposal skills, and boosts your chances of landing more prominent, prestigious awards later. Beyond the financial benefits, winning grants gives you the freedom to direct your research and explore projects you’re passionate about, offering a level of career autonomy many doctoral students don’t realise is possible.
