FACTOR is pleased to announce our Week 3 discussion for FACTOR PhD students and staff:<\/p>\n
TITLE<\/strong><\/p>\n
Trust in the VoiD: another unsuccessful grant application<\/p>\n
ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n
We’ve had yet another grant application turned down. Rather than bin it straight away, we’ll read it and discuss it together. We’ll look at two aspects:<\/p>\n
\n
- The project idea, design and usefulness. What’s worth keeping, and how might we build on it?<\/li>\n
- The proposal as an example of a grant application, sparking discussion about good and bad practice in grant writing. You can be honest about what you think, we can handle it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
The application will be circulated by email beforehand, so please give it a read before the session.<\/p>\n
TIME & PLACE<\/strong><\/p>\n
W03, 1100-1150, Tue 20th Oct 2026<\/p>\n
In-person: County South D72<\/p>\n
Please note that this session is for FACTOR PhD students and staff only.<\/p>\n
