With Halloween just around the corner, it’s a good time to think about how to resurrect those old grant applications that you’ve long since forgotten about.
But what do you do after hearing your application was unsuccessful? As part of the Research and Knowledge Exchange Development Framework, RKEO are holding a session on ‘Confronting your Unsuccessful application’. This one-day event will combine:
- information about how individuals deal with rejection
- advice and guidance on how this can be turned into something positive
- advice on how feedback can be approached
- the opportunity for individuals to work on revising their bids, using the above as a basis for doing so.
The afternoon session will comprise of 1-2-1 sessions with the external facilitator, to get specific advice relating to your application.
There are 15 spaces available for academic staff whose funding application has been rejected and wish to re-submit to another funder, within the next 12 months.
Date: Wednesday 15th November 2017
Time: 09:00-13:30 with opportunities for a 1-2-1 appointment in the afternoon session
Venue: Lansdowne Campus
Book your space via the RKE Development Framework page for this event.
For further information, please contact Lisa Gale-Andrews, RKEO Research Facilitator.
