Competition for research grants is intensifying. Grant agencies carefully evaluate applications to select studies that are likely to be successful and will have significant social benefits. This Writing Effective Grant Applications workshop, for researchers in the early and middle stages of their careers, is excellent in how to set research themes that are meaningful and likely to receive grants, how to find appropriate grants, and how to secure research funds. We will provide basic guidance on how to create an application form.
