Writing a grant application to fund your caving expedition

Abstract

This talk will offer hints and tips for applying for grant funding to support your caving expedition, or any other project for that matter. While framed primarily in the context of the Ghar Parau Foundation (GPF), the advice will also be relevant to other potential funders, and some ideas for these will also be supplied. Fleur will share experience from years of assessing applications to the GPF, as well as writing and assessing scientific grant applications as a key part of her “day job”.
