The VAMHN Early Career Researcher Virtual Proposal Workshops aim to support junior researchers working in the field of domestic/sexual violence and mental health who are preparing applications to submit for funding. These workshops will be facilitated by two senior members of VAMHN and provide a supportive environment for ECRs to receive constructive feedback on their grant applications.
These workshops will take place online via Zoom every two months for a year. The second annual round of these workshops will start on 26th May 2021 from 13.00-14.30.
Three proposals will be discussed at each workshop. All participating ECRs will be required to provide a draft proposal to the group at least a week before their allocated workshop, which all of the other group members will read in advance and then provide feedback on during the session. This process will be rotated so a different set of ECRs have their proposals discussed at each workshop.
All group members are required to attend every virtual workshop. ALL types of applications, from full applications to an outline and expressions of interest, and from any discipline, can be provided for discussion at the workshop. It can work very well to bring something that has been previously rejected that you are working up for resubmission.
