Some of the key pitfalls of grant writing are covered and participants learn techniques for avoiding these pitfalls.
The remainder of the workshop is dedicated to guiding participants through the sections of Part B1 of the proposal: The Excellence, Impact, and Implementation sections are taken in turn.
