This year, people close to me have submitted about 20-25 grant applications, and only tiny ones for event venue fees have come through.
This seems a shame. Have these people had the grants reviewed by anyone who is more familiar with the grantwriting process? I found that this can make a big difference.
I’d like to propose that something like Meridian’s Research Accelerator Week, where people get together to make better ideas and write better grants, could be excellent. Especially with buy-in from grantmakers to review the resulting applications quickly.
I’ll be in touch with you about this. Ideally, it would involve at least one other person who is experienced at grantwriting and can travel to Japan (assuming they’re not already there). If anyone reading this falls into this category, do reply here!
