That’s you! n Here we go.

Overall Goal n Goal is for you to work your way through an outline grant proposal and discuss issues with others along the way. n Produce outline aims/goals and aim to “sell” them to your fellow attendees. n See if they are excited or otherwise care! n Produce an outline Track Record n Produce an outline Programme of Work etc.

Main Issues n Why this problem? n Why should anyone care? n Why me? n Why this proposal?
