Nailing grants, papers, prizes, and awards

This course is the self-directed, online version of our standard grant writing workshop. It provides participants with essential rules, methods, and tools for engaging readers in their work to enhance their chances of being noticed, published, and funded. You can try it for free before deciding to proceed.

Highlights of the course

  • The course is informed by evidence and the lessons and insights we have gathered from editing grants, papers, and prize and award applications for over 10 years.

  • We provide participants with a host of practical approaches that they can instantly apply to their own writing (which we can also provide feedback on).

  • With the permission of our former clients, we use real text from successful applications to demonstrate how to craft compelling content.

  • At the completion of the course, participants will receive a course handbook that captures the key insights from the course, which they can apply to their future writing.

  • For individual enrolments, you can try the first two modules of the course before deciding whether to purchase the remaining content.

Testimonials

  • “I found this course exceptionally helpful - one of the most useful, indeed transformative, research development courses I've ever done. I now have concrete tools to apply that I have already used in my everyday work to great effect. Very simple, clear and easy to follow course steps. Excellent online learning environment.”

  • "I liked how tailored the training was for academics. Often, courses that aim to help with scientific writing don't provide relevant examples to reflect back on our work. The addition of excerpts from successful NHMRC grants was really useful in helping me consider the weaknesses of my own grants. The activities were also really engaging, particularly the ones where we had to rewrite sections of a grant, and really challenged me in the concepts that were introduced during the course."

  • "The training taught me something about writing that I hadn’t learned throughout all my years as a student. I feel like these are skills I should have developed a long time ago ... It was pitched at just the right level and provided tools that were purposeful and ... dare I say, often overlooked within an academic setting."
