With the support and assistance of RES, FAHS will be running a Bid Workshop for staff tailored specifically to applications to the ESRC.  The Workshop will take place on Wednesday 17th  April between 1.45 and 5.00pm  and will be aimed at all levels of academic and research staff who would like to improve their bidding skills.

The workshop will be led by Rachel Brooks (Head  of Sociology) who has made a number of recent successful grant applications and is also a member of the ESRC Peer Review College.

The programme for the afternoon will be circulated at a later date but is likely to include:

• a facilitated workshop session on  writing ESRC bids with input from Peer review college members
• Case Studies by staff who have had recent success with the ESRC
• a presentation on the bidding and costing process from RES

This promises to be a really useful workshop for everyone whose work could potentially be funded by the ESRC  – but particularly with those of you with limited recent experience of putting a bid together and those of you who are bidding but would appreciate some more help and guidance.

If you would like to attend please email Anne Hrassnigg at researchliaison@surrey.ac.uk by Wednesday, 10th  April 2013
