Development Programme (RDP) will launch <b>Winter Fellowships Challenge</b> on <b>
Monday 3 November 2014</b>. In its fourth year, the initiative aims to provide researchers with a better understanding of the UK and EU funding landscapes, build peer review skills and support them through the application process through mentoring.

with the end result (over a three month period) being a completed application. </span>

areas where fellowship funding may be available. We would very much like your support in promoting this to your research staff and final year PhD students to encourage them to take part in this practical initiative, which aims to build confidence in our researchers,
advancing their careers whilst attracting funding. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
