Workshops and Seminars
Graduate Students
Target Audience: Graduate students, doctoral students, postdoctoral researchers, professional staff
The graduate student grant writing seminar is a modification of the faculty grant writing seminar and is tailored to the needs of graduate students and those who have little to no grant writing experience. Attendees will leave the seminar understanding the why as well as the how of grant writing. This seminar will help demystify the process and emphasize how the approaches taught can also be applied to planning and writing a thesis project or paper for publication.

Faculty
Target Audience: Faculty, instructors, lecturers, postdoctoral researchers, professional staff
The faculty grant writing seminar emphasizes the why as well as the how of proposal writing. By understanding the reasoning and rationale behind specific suggestions, participants can take that learning and adapt it to many different research and grant development situations. The approaches taught during the seminar will help demystify the proposal writing process but at the same time provide concrete tools to use in organizing the information and arguments necessary for the development of a compelling proposal.
Seminar content is spread out over four days (i.e., new content each day). Participants must attend all four days to receive the full training.
