Part 3a: Rubicon Grant Writing Training (A)

Course type:
Workshop with assignments
Duration:
5 hours
Audience:
PhD students who are veryclose to PhD defence or Postdocs who have recently defended their thesis. You have five dedicated parts of your proposal ready before entering the course. Ideally, you have already participated in two more general grant writing workshops before you enter this one (but this is not required).
Module information:

The third course in our three-part series on grant writing for PhD students. All parts can be taken separately as well.

Rubicon Grant Writing Training is a one-day workshop that logically follows the first two grant writing classes:

The Rubicon training targets PhD students and postdocs who aim to submit a Rubicon grant proposal in the upcoming NWO round (or any other grant proposal that is similar to Rubicon and represents your first personal career grant as a PhD) and provides them with information on 4-5 important aspects of the grant proposal: the title, the summary, the host section, the CV section, and the Knowledge Utilisation section. It furthermore informs participants about how the selection of candidates works. There will also be plenty of time to ask questions about issues encountered while writing a first draft of the proposal. Trainers do not provide feedback on individual proposals during the actual course.
