\n<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Deadline for submission:<\/strong> 7th June
\nShort-listing: <\/strong>11th June
\nDragon’s Den event: <\/strong>18th June<\/p>\n

Link to the application form: DDApplication<\/a> (including guidance and a costing template)<\/p>\n

There’s a total of \u00a35000 up for grabs to be won across multiple projects, so if you’ve got any small projects you’d like to work on now is your chance! Perfect opportunity to win money as a PI, the application is light-touch and the funding track record for this competition is high. PhDs are encouraged to get involved too, providing you have permission from your supervisor and the work does not feed into your PhD project.<\/p>\n

Any questions at all about eligibility, costing, the application process etc, contact Claudia Rodriguez-Sobstel<\/span> or Jessica Estwood. They can also put you in touch with previous winners, should you find that helpful.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
