This course offers a practical and strategic introduction to the art and science of grant writing, tailored specifically for doctoral students and early-career researchers in the health sciences. With a focus on securing competitive funding, students will learn how to craft compelling proposals that align with funding priorities, demonstrate scientific merit, and articulate societal impact.

Through a combination of lectures, peer review, and hands-on writing workshops, participants will:

• Explore the structure and components of successful grant applications.
• Analyse real-world examples from funding bodies.
