Navigating Competitive Grant Application Processes

This presentation sheds light on some of the opportunities and challenges, with respect to competitive grant applications, particularly for early career researchers.

Research grant writing can be time-consuming, daunting, and difficult to navigate the process. Considerations relevant to multi/interdisciplinary teams involving engineering, information systems, and technology-based disciplines are discussed, and a series of practical suggestions for grant writing is presented.
 

The talk focuses on the grant writing process as a mechanism for research development, both in view of refining projects and forming or enhancing research collaborations. Early planning and drafting, seeking mentorship and the value of collaboration are emphasized, among other strategies.
