Abstract

Writing research grants applications is a key, high-stakes practice for emerging scholars; however, the genre can be secretive and daunting. This talk describes how to align your addressed problem, methodology, expected results and impact into a streamlined proposal, and how to emphasize its relevance for a specific country or committee.

Dr Pascal Patrick Matzler has been teaching EAP/ESP in Chile since 2007 and completed a PhD in Applied Linguistics at the University of Auckland (NZ) in 2020. His research combines ESP genre analysis with the ethnographic study of situated postgraduate research writing, in particular mentoring and co-authoring practices.
