Friday 30 October, 16:00 – 17:00 GMT

Preparing and writing grant applications can be a daunting experience, especially if you haven’t submitted many applications 

over the course of your career. Whether you’re planning a pilot study or aiming to secure a fellowship, this session will show you what goes into a successful application and offer you guidance to get your next submission over the line.  

During this session you will hear from Clare McVicker, Head of Grants at The Academy of Medical Sciences (AMS), UK, who will share tips on how to prepare an application and what a grants review panel are looking for. You can also find out about the grants that are available from the AMS.   

Giovanni Mann, Professor of Vascular Physiology at King’s College London, UK, will speak about his own experience in applying for grants and reviewing them, taking you through some key elements of a successful application. 

Finally, Hannah Marie Kirton, Cardiovascular Research Fellow at the University of Leeds, UK, will talk about how funding has enhanced her postdoctoral experience and her pursuit to secure larger grants to support independent research.

There will also be an opportunity to submit your questions to the panel.  

Learning outcomes: 

• Understand what a UK funding body looks for in applications 
• Hear a step-by-step walk-through of the key elements of a successful application
• Learn how to critically evaluate example applications
