Dr Hannah Smith - The grant review process; perspective of an ECR

Dr Hannah Smith narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In her first blog for Dementia Researcher, Hannah provides a detailed account of her experience as the first Early Career Researcher (ECR) on MND Scotland’s Scientific Advisory Panel. She emphasises the immense value this role has brought to her career development and the benefits it offers to both the research community and those affected by motor neuron disease. Hannah discusses the challenges ECRs face in transitioning to independent research roles and highlights how observing the grant review process has enhanced her grant-writing skills. She advocates for other funding bodies to include ECRs in their panels, noting the unique perspectives and technical insights they bring to the table.

Dr Hannah Smith is a committed science communicator, ECR rep on MND Scotland’s grant reviewing Scientific Advisory Panel and Postdoctoral Research Fellow working on Motor Neuron Disease (MND) at The University of Edinburgh. Hannah's current work is bioinformatics-focused, generating and analysing the transcriptome and translatome in the motor neurons at pre- and early symptomatic stages. She hopes to find new insights into the earliest cellular dysfunction of ALS/MND, focused around changes to the protein translation.
