How to write an individual proposal for PhD candidates

How to write an (individual) proposal

For whom?

Interested research and support staff who will submit an individual research proposal for funding within the next 12 months, for example for Marie Curie Individual Grants or for the NWO Talent Scheme VENI or Rubicon. The training is directed at PhD candidates. Experience in applying for funding is not required.

As a follow up to this ‘general’ training, we organise several specialized training sessions, aiming at particular instruments (like ERC or VIDI).
