BSI Grant Writing Support
We support our community of academics to prepare excellent interdisciplinary funding applications through a raft of grant writing activities.
Grant Writing Club
Our Grant Writing Club brings together academics to discuss the grant applications they are developing. This group purposefully includes academics from across disciplines, to allow peer review of the interdisciplinary aspects including the accessibility of applications to reviewers from other disciplines. Throughout the year we can provide support for arranging peer review and arranging mock panels where appropriate.
