Offering basic tips for researchers preparing grant applications including advice on how to communicate the novelty, strengths and importance of your research ideas, as well as how to convey your abilities to plan, manage and deliver on your project.

Dr Eoin O’Sullivan from the Centre for Science, Technology and Innovation Policy at the IfM has developed a set of webpages providing grant writing tips for researchers.

The ‘Grant Writer’s Handbook’ website offers guidance on how to communicate the novelty, strengths and importance of your research ideas, as well as how to convey your ability to plan, manage and deliver on your proposed project.

It also reveals key ‘dos and don’ts’ identified by experienced reviewers, capturing what appeals to them, what turns them off, and what is likely to encourage them to either recommend funding or decline a proposal.
