It typically brings together 20-30 of scientists from a range of backgrounds for a residential creativity workshop, where participants generate radical solutions to address research challenges . At the end of the sandpit participants pitch against each other for ring fenced monies to fund their idea. Grant writing prize fund As part of the course funding will be available for PDRAs to support the write up and submission of a grant application for the best ideas generated during the workshop Don’t leave success to chance Sandpits can be a “sink or swim” experience but with the right training they don’t have to be. This course provides you with guidance about the process and equips you with the skillset required to maximise your contribution and enhance your chances of success rates at sandpit sessions.
