UK 2011: 6-day funding proposal writing workshop
Run in London in 2011, this intensive workshop taught participants applying for BBSRC, Gates Foundation and DFID funding how to plan, structure and write first-class funding proposals.
The course flew top scientists from all over Africa to the UK, in order to give them intensive training. Activities included a mock panel run by staff from the funding bodies themselves, which helped participants appreciate how funding proposals are judged. As far as we are aware, this was the first time that this has ever been done. Finally, participants were sent to spend a day with their UK partners to help finalise their proposals prior to submission. The course received outstanding feedback.
