#ECRWednesday Webinar: How to plan research grants that further your career

Join us for insights into strategizing research projects that lead to being successfully awarded that next research grant.

Securing research funding is pivotal for group leaders to run their lab in a sustainable manner and for postdocs to become independent researchers. Since project grants and personal fellowships are only awarded for a few years, it is necessary to carefully plan out research projects with scientific outputs that lead into new project ideas and generate (preliminary) data in time for the next grant application. This requires researchers to be highly skilled in both project and time management.

To allow live viewing and interactions across time zones, this webinar will take place twice at the following times:

Register here for Webinar 1: 7am GMT/ 11.30am IST/ 4pm AEST

Register here for Webinar 2: 4pm GMT/ 11am EDT/ 8am PDT

In these webinars, our speakers will discuss how to:

  • strategize obtaining data that feeds into the next project proposal
  • balance performing research, managing several projects and grant writing
  • tailor your CV and pitch achievements relevant for grant success

Join these webinars to learn how to be fully prepared for your next grant application.
