Thank you for sharing this opportunity, Ana!
Thanks, Ana!
Thank you Ana for this opportunity because our country is part of the selection. I will invest myself in it.
Have a great day.
All the best!
Hi Ana,
Although it's late, I thank you for the opportunities you send us. I wanted to succeed this one and my concept note was selected but I had difficulties to have the latest information because I was in conference outside the country. However, I would like to ask you if there is an opportunity to continue.
Thank you again for our sisterhood.
Have a nice weekend.
Congrats on your efforts.
Yes, submitting proposals/applications is a training one cannot avoid if one wants to be successful in grant requests!
I advise you to have all basic paperwork always ready and updated in order to apply within the deadlines.
Most opportunities are not a stand alone call, they are recurrent (yearly, at least).
So get ready for the next round.
Best,
Ana Isabel
Merci ma chère Ana pour tes bons conseils, je veux maintenant me préparer pour le prochain tour.
