Principal speaker
Professor Charles Sampford
SEMINAR
The aim of this GSBRC seminar is to provide an opportunity for social, behavioural and humanities researchers to gain knowledge from individuals with successful ARC funding track records. Our aims are to increase the Australian Competitive Grant application success rates for Griffith University social, behavioural and humanities applicants and to facilitate access to research support staff who can give advice on successfully completing the internal submission process. Topics to be covered include :
- What are the rules?
- Who are the assessors and what are they looking for?
- How do you grab their attention?
- What information to write about the project.
- How to write a great application.
- What makes the difference?
- The traps for players.
- Strategies.
- Getting great reviews.
- Reviewing and mentoring.
- Where to look for funding.
All the topics covered by the speakers will focus on strategy rather than discipline-specific content. Questions, comments and discussion will be encouraged.
