Grant support

Grant writing is a recurring challenge for many of us. We often face similar obstacles and can benefit greatly from learning from one another. Discussing proposal ideas and receiving feedback on drafts can significantly increase the chances of success.

To formalise this kind of support, the IMAPP Board has established a Grant Support Team, consisting of Marijke Haverkorn (Astrophysics), Mengqing Wu (HEP), and Klaas Landsman (Mathematics).

The team aims to provide assistance with grant proposals by coordinating feedback from colleagues on drafts and/or facilitating brainstorming sessions, particularly in the early stages of proposal development. For now, they are available to support all substantial proposals, ranging from single-hire grants to large collaborative projects.

If you are considering writing a grant proposal, you are warmly invited to contact Marijke, Mengqing, and Klaas at imappgrantsupport [at] science.ru.nl (imappgrantsupport[at]science[dot]ru[dot]nl). They will arrange a meeting to discuss your needs and the support they can provide.
