Where’s the money?
• On your own: write down as many sources/types
of funding as you can think of
• On your table: discard any duplicates
• Rank the post-its according to how easy or hard
you think they are to get
• What do you need to do to get to the high fruits?

You be the judge
• If you were presented with an application to
review, and ultimately whether to award it, how
would you assess it?
• Think about:
– What criteria would you use?
– Would you weight the criteria?
– Would you use a simple binary assessment?
