Proposal Writing: How to Create Promising Grant Applications
A workshop offered by the Bonn Graduate Center
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.
