Event description

A great idea isn’t just words on a page. 

In today’s competitive funding landscape, developing the skill to communicate complex ideas to non-specialist grant reviewers, from government to industry, has never been more important. 

The process of distilling the essence of a complex research grant proposal into a short, plain English pitch can help researchers identify and amplify key messages they want reviewers to remember, not just understand. 

Getting Pitch Perfect is a series of online sessions delivered by the Research Development Program where ‘the art of the pitch’ will be showcased and dissected. In each Getting Pitch Perfect session you will see a live pitch – typically motivated around a future funding opportunity – and watch an interdisciplinary assessment panel deliberate and present feedback to the pitcher. The sessions are interactive. Participants are invited to evaluate the pitch using live polling and engage in Q&A with the pitcher and the panel.*  

By participating in Getting Pitch Perfect, you will be inspired, build an appreciation of what makes a great pitch, and learn what to avoid in your own pitch. 

This is the registration page for Getting Pitch Perfect session #2: 7 October, 12-1:30pm 

The pitch 

The session features a pitch by Dr Tim Foster. Tim, an interdisciplinary researcher, is based in the Institute for Sustainable Futures where he has recently completed his Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. Tim will pitch an interdisciplinary project (for the ARC DECRA scheme) that aims to research the opportunities and obstacles to securing sustainable water supplies in remote Indigenous homeland communities in the Australia’s Northern Territory. 

The interdisciplinary panel 

An interdisciplinary panel of UTS academic and professional staff has been assembled to deconstruct this pitch. The panel has broad expertise in public health, water and resource management in Indigenous contexts, and science communication. 

All UTS researchers, particularly ECRs, are encouraged to attend what is sure to be an entertaining and informative session.
