Researchers and Scholars
Welcome to my series of podcasts for researchers and scholars. Based on my book, Write an Effective Funding Application, these six podcasts cover every step you need to know in order to write an effective funding application – from the moment you decide to apply until after you have completed the application.
Whether you are doing research in the health sciences, the social sciences and humanities, or the natural sciences and engineering, this series of podcasts is for you. Listen to the free introductory podcast to hear what this series is all about and what it can do – not only for your grant applications but for all your writing initiatives.
