On both days of the #GrantWritingRetreat, our participants split into groups to attend advice clinics. These sessions provided an opportunity to hear from a range of perspectives and further develop their bid writing skills. #healthresearch #digitalhealth #smartphones #wearables

At our #Grant Writing Retreat delegates did group pitches. Learning from our sessions, they refined and presented their pitches again. The panel was impressed by the noticeable improvement across all teams, as each had clearly learned from our speakers' insights. Congratulations to our winning team!
