ACCELERATE Success 'Grant Writing for Translational Research' Workshops

In contrast to academic/fellowship grant applications, applying for translational research and innovation grants is all about pitching the end vision and convincing funders that you know what it takes to get there: What is the unmet clinical need? How will you meet this need? What are the project milestones and how much will it cost? For many, the first step to pitching this vision is a written application.

When: We are offering two seperate dates for this workshop, both will feature the same content so please do only sign up for one.
