NEaT deep dive: Our 2nd grants roundtable!

More of everything you ever wanted to know about revising grant applications but were afraid to ask

Following a robust discussion in February about things to keep in mind when revising grant applications for clients, we’ve decided to continue the discussion with a second roundtable.

Join us for an informal online discussion which follows up on how best to meet your clients’ needs when they are working on and submitting requests for funding to donor agencies. We are going to address ethical concerns, including the use of AI from a funder’s perspective and handling multiple clients who are applying to the same funder.

Vanessa Fuller, a long-time instructor of transferable skills training to academics at the University of Helsinki and herself a consultant grant writer, will lead the discussion and offer insights from her experience.

NEaT mentoring 2025

NEaT mentoring is up and running for the fourth year!

NEaT mentoring is our members-only scheme where we share experience and expertise. Our mentors give a few hours of their time to mentees to work on a particular issue. Our mentees will have a clear goal or skill they want to work on over three one-to-one sessions. It can be a core skill in a specific area of translation or editing, or specific business, marketing, IT or other expertise.

Regardless of how long you have been working, there are always new skills you might need to learn. Go to the member portal to read all about it.

NEaT’s new listserv

NEaT has a listserv or group mailing list so members can share work opportunities and professional benefits directly with one another. 

For years, we have used GoogleGroups, but because it is winding down we are moving to a more secure mailing list service.

Members will receive an email about joining and can read all about it here.
