ARC Grant Writing Workshop

This session is designed specifically for Early to Mid-Career Researchers (EMCRs) looking to enhance their grant writing skills. The workshop will be led by Natalie Betts, a grant writing expert with extensive experience. Natalie's career has spanned various fields, providing her with invaluable experience in grant preparation. She spent 2.5 years as a management consultant at McKinsey & Co, learning about strategic positioning, decision-making, and budget modelling. She also worked for 6 years as a part-time technical writer for a medical device company and spent 10 years as a postdoctoral researcher at the Waite Campus, writing her own grants and papers. For the past 7 years, Natalie has been working as a grant editor, with the last 4 years in a full-time freelance position.

Natalie is highly familiar with ARC grants, having assisted with over 150 grants across all schemes. She has also assisted with applications for NHMRC/MRFF, CRC-P, and government grants in Australia, the UK, and the USA. Her diverse background makes her uniquely qualified to provide insights into successful grant writing strategies.
