Curious how to turn your research idea into a winning proposal? In this session, we’ll break down the key elements of a strong application: from crafting a compelling research question to designing a credible plan of action and clear budget. You’ll learn how to communicate what makes your project interesting, achievable, and significant, and see real examples of successful proposals from past students.
