Very exciting talk, series of advice, by Florence Oloff for CORE-ILCA Grant Writing Group. Funny moment of déformation professionnelle: we sent her questions the community would like her to address and she found the order in them and made collections: amazing! Thanks! #emca #coreilca

Great conversation today at #coreilca on ‘rejection’ related to grants, but also applicable to feelings of (un)entitlement, to bringing down the stigma around ‘polished CV’, ‘excellent candidate’, ‘success’, by showing people that time, energy, ideas go in a rejection & this should be acknowledged!
Australian researchers whose ARC DP application has just turned out to be a "hungry ghost" 😢 might find this article in @sociologicalreview.bsky.social about grieving academic grant rejections worthwhile

Bidding for research funding has increasingly become a main feature of academic work from the doctoral level and beyond. Individually and collectively, the process of grant writing – from idea conceptualisation to administration – involves considerable work, including emotional work in imagining possible futures in which the project is enacted. Competition and failure in grant capture are high, yet there is little discussion about how academics experience grant rejections. In this article we draw on our experiences with grant rejections, as authors with diverse social science backgrounds working with death and bereavement, to discuss how grant rejection can be conceptualised as a form of loss and lead to feelings of grief. We end by considering what forms of recognition and support this may enable.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ojuj6yws4naor7qonm7ko453/bafkreidu44n4tgsf7eiwlw4kupbz5sipjxt3i23iwhlzfi6vm52mmapg5a)

Today @penttihad.bsky.social talked to us @ #coreilca about grant writing: he shared general reflections on the process as well as tips&tricks, e.g. starting from a messy doc full of links to help think of the issue from different perspectives! Illuminating! Fab conversation followed! Thank you!
