HARC Career Development Awards

Five emerging researchers were selected to participate in the HARC Grant Application Review program. Awarded a cash prize to be used for professional development, each researcher developed a grant or fellowship submission from proposal to full draft, engaging in a continual process of feedback, peer review and self-assessment. The program began in January 2006 and was completed in June 2006. HARC is also hosting this program again in 2006/2007.
