Are you interested in expanding your research horizons and funding opportunities? If so, would you please consider applying for US grants?

The US has a large and diverse research landscape, with many funding agencies and programs that support international collaborations and innovative projects. However, applying for US grants can also be challenging and confusing, especially if you are not familiar with the requirements and expectations of the US system.

To help you navigate the US grant scene, we invite you to join us for an informative and interactive event on Thursday, 15 August, at 10am-11am at the RES Hub (CB02.05.250) or join online via Teams (Join the meeting now )-Meeting ID: 499 962 105 779 & Passcode: FGgx7u
