Nine early career researchers in FECM were succesful in the 2008 round for UWA Research Development Awards funding in 2009. This scheme is a great opportunity to:
a) develop grant writing skills,
b) secure funding for pilot projects to support future external applications,
c) build up track record in funding success and
d) establish a relationship or collaboration with a mentor.
