Essential Guide to Grant Applications (EGGA)
Our Essential Guide to Grant Applications (EGGA) is a free-to-attend, online, three-day masterclass, funded and hosted by NIHR RSS USP, on how to write a grant application for applied health or social care research that is strong from a methodological point of view, reads well and presents a convincing case for funding. The event will cover important writing tips, along with guidance on what reviewers will be looking for in an application. Attendees will learn how to make their research idea clear and compelling to reviewers, how to write a good methods section and how to demonstrate credible support.
The online masterclass focuses on how to sell your research idea by:
-
writing a convincing application with a good structure, flow and argument;
-
presenting a strong methods section, including statistical, qualitative, health economics and Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) elements;
-
having a good project plan;
-
engaging with sources of external support for your research.
