Professor Louise Serpell narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

What does a grant panel member actually notice when they open your application? This blog walks through a grant from the reviewer's side of the desk, covering the short summary, the lay summary, the case for support, and the often underexplained art of justifying your costings. It also covers what happens once a decision is close: responding to reviewers' comments and getting through the interview. Practical, panel-tested advice for anyone about to submit.
