Register for EGGA on our Zoom portal here. \nOur Essential Guide to Grant Applications (EGGA) is a free-to-attend\, online\, three-day masterclass\, funded and hosted by NIHR RSS USP\, on how to write a grant application for applied health or social care research that is strong from a methodological point of view\, reads well and presents a convincing case for funding. The event will cover important writing tips\, along with guidance on what reviewers will be looking for in an application. Attendees will learn how to make their research idea clear and compelling to reviewers\, how to write a good methods section and how to demonstrate credible support. \nThe online masterclass focuses on how to sell your research idea by: \n\nwriting a convincing application with a good structure\, flow and argument;\npresenting a strong methods section\, including statistical\, qualitative\, health economics and Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) elements;\nhaving a good project plan;\nengaging with sources of external support for your research.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s the format?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEGGA is held online. Content is delivered through: \n\nPresentations\nPanel discussions\nQ&A sessions\nOptional homework\, worksheets and exercises\n\n\n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEGGA is open to all healthcare professionals\, social care and public health practitioners\, health researchers and SMEs who intend to apply to an open\, competitive\, peer-reviewed funding programme in the 12 months following the masterclass. Attendees are welcome internationally\, but the content will be geared towards UK-based funding systems. The Research Support Service is part of the NIHR; although the content of EGGA is relevant for anyone applying for health or social care funding\, it will be most relevant for those submitting to NIHR funding streams. \n\n\n\n\nWhat topics are covered?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresentations and practical sessions will cover the following topics (and more): \n\nGetting your message across to reviewers quickly and clearly\nSales pitch and writing style\nCommunicating the importance of your work\nWhat do funding panels love and hate to see in applications?\nThe importance of the research question\, title\, aims and objectives\nThe importance of Plain English summaries\nShowing reviewers you can deliver: the importance of a good case for support\nExpectations and common mistakes in the case for support\nHow to present statistics sections\nHow to present health economics sections\nHow to present qualitative sections\nReassuring reviewers\nShowing reviewers you can deliver: demonstrating credible support\nThe importance of good Patient and Public Involvement\nThe importance of good project management\nDemonstrating the potential for tangible outputs\nThe importance of a good pre-submission review\n\n\n\n\n\nWhen does EGGA take place?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEGGA takes place annually\, usually in the Spring Term.

SUMMARY:Using and Combining Imaging Derived Phenotypes for Dementia
DESCRIPTION:Two day online Workshop 20th and 21st May 2026. Improve your knowledge and skills in using neuroimaging for dementia research\n\n\n\nDeep Dementia Phenotyping (DEMON) Network Early Career Workshop: Using and Combining Imaging Derived Phenotypes for Dementia \n1pm-6pm BST 20th and 21st May 2026 \nDo you want to improve your knowledge and skill of using neuroimaging to understand dementia? This workshop is for researchers wanting to improve their skills in using and understanding neuroimaging in dementia. It will cover a wide range of structural\, functional\, and vascular imaging phenotypes\, and how to combine them together and with other biomarkers. We will talk about applying image derived phenotypes to understand disease mechanisms\, to develop biomarkers\, and for clinical use. You will come away from the workshop with new skills and enthusiasm to use neuroimaging to improve your research. \nConfirmed speakers include: \n\nFidel Alfaro-Almagro\, University of Oxford\nLiju An\, Lund University\nGaurav Bhalerao\, University of Oxford\nJames Cole\, UCL\nAngelina Kancheva\, University of Glasgow\nAudrey Low\, Mayo Clinic\nTom Nichols\, University of Oxford\nEnrico Premi\, Università degli Studi di Brescia\nTim Rittman\, University of Cambridge\nGabriel Ziegler\, Freie Universität Berlin\n\n\nRegister to Attend
