Lesson 1: An introduction to your instructor

Introduction to your tutor

I’m Dr Chloe Sharp and my career in government grant funding spans over a decade. I’ve won over £10m personally but led grant teams that have been successful in winning millions of pounds for startups, scaleups and SMEs from Innovate UK, National Institute for Health Research and UK government agencies. I’ve also managed awarded projects from Innovate UK and have insights on how they work in practice.

Whilst working as a grants and innovation consultant to businesses, I found that the grants application process was a steep learning curve. This course aims to navigate you through it before applying for it. So, when you come to apply for a grant, you have a strategy, have had the key conversations and have the key documentation ready.

This course aims to equip you with the mindset for writing and winning grants and to give you an insight into what you’ll need to have ready to run a successful project.
