Meet your grantcraft coach:
Dr Sarah Cutfield.

I am an award-winning grant development specialist and an expert in the genre of grant writing. My signature strength is “lightbulb” moments: I ask insightful questions that untangle the problem and clarify the solution.

I have a PhD in Linguistics, Australian and international research experience and 9 years’ experience coaching academics in successful grant development.

You are in excellent hands. I have supported academics in STEMM and HASS disciplines across all major Australian research funders to win more than $44 million in Category 1-3 funding.

What My Workshop Participants Say

“Sarah’s fantastic – it’s really helpful to have things explained particularly how the reviewer sees your application, and how to order and structure things.”

“Sarah provides very useful knowledge and information on how to write a grant application. The sessions also provided an opportunity for me to go through the different steps on an actual application.”

“Sarah was so considerate and helpful as a convener. The material was well-paced and it was really great to get tips around how to address certain topics and what to look for in applying for a grant.”

“I liked the way Sarah organized the sessions and gave us successful examples. I also liked the on-the-spot writing of aim, research question etc.”
