The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the NDA are holding a workshop on 31 March. The aim of the workshop is to prepare arts and humanities researchers with interests in ageing research for the forthcoming final round of bids for NDA Programme Grants (April 2008). An applicants' clinic will form part of the workshop to allow attendees to book time with a Research Council or NDA representative to discuss a specific proposal. This workshop is only for those with an interest in making an application to the NDA Programme with a firm proposal in mind.
