EPOS Practical course: “Writing a Grant Proposal”
EPOS Practical course: “Writing a Grant Proposal”
Location: Hotel Zuiderduin, Egmond aan Zee
Time: 16 December 4:00 pm – 17 December 2:00 pm (just before the beginning of the NVP Winter Conference)
Teachers: Sander Nieuwenhuis & Guido Band (band@fsw.leidenuniv.nl)
After finishing a dissertation, experimental psychologists usually need to acquire their own grant money, either with official granting organizations such as NWO, or with third party (commercial) companies. Chances in application do not only depend on a good proposal and a long publication list, but also on a good preparation, which this workshop is intended to facilitate. In the lecture part of this workshop Sander Nieuwenhuis and Guido Band chart the most relevant grant programs and discuss the do’s and don’ts before, during and after writing the application. In the practical part, the writing skills and presentation skills required for a successful application are trained.
In preparation, and as partial fulfillment for credit, a 2-A4 proposal has to be written in the format of an NWO Rubicon,Veni, or commercial grant application. During the practical part, we discuss the potential for improvement of the applications and participants give a 5-minute oral presentation of their proposal. The organizers are experienced both in writing and in reviewing grant applications for NWO. Target audience: 3rd and 4th year PhD students.
Dinner at 16/12 and Lunch at 17/12 are included, but accommodation in the hotel is not. You can make reservation directly with the hotel for 47.50/pers (twin room) or 65.00/pers (individual room). This price includes breakfast buffet and use of the swimming pool and sauna.

The Scientific committee invites proposals for symposia on any topic relevant to the study of cognition, behavior and the brain. These symposia will be the centerpiece of the meeting.

Proposals that integrate multiple methodologies around common questions are particularly welcome. Symposia will feature 4 speakers. Deadline for symposia proposals is June 30, 2015. Symposia proposals can be sent by e-mail to Floris de Lange (floris.delange@donders.ru.nl), the chair of the Scientific Committee.
A symposium contains four speakers who present during a two-hour session. It is important that the agreement of the chair and speakers has already been obtained before submission. Provide the following information (all character limits include spaces):
- Contact information of all speakers (institutions, emails, addresses, positions, gender).
- Title of the symposium and the individual presentations.
- Short description of the symposium for use in the NVP program book (500 characters).
- The overall objectives for the symposium (1500 characters).
- Why the proposal is timely (500 characters) .
