The grant-writing and review process is one of many challenges for early-career researchers (ECRs). Though it is one of the most critical responsibilities for launching, maintaining, and advancing a career involving academic research, it can seem an unfamiliar and daunting task for ECRs in an increasingly competitive funding environment.

This workshop aims to introduce ECRs in palaeo-sciences with microbiology-oriented research to the funding agency landscape, provide strategies and advice on the grant writing and submission process, and encourage networking among ECRs interested in initiating or developing research grant proposals.
