Seminar Description
This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. It is designed for participants who have had some exposure to writing grant applications, either through training / mentoring or personal experience. Emphasis is given to such things as idea development, identification of the most appropriate granting agency, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant's case to reviewers. All participants receive an extensive handout, as well as a field-relevant copy of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook.

- Tips and techniques to "Write Winning Grants for Faculty" (June 17-18) and "Getting Started for Graduate Students" (June 18 only)
- 1:1 proposal development support for 10-25 faculty and staff attendees following the seminars. Details to come. Attendance is required at the workshop on October 1-2. See here for the support schedule. More details to be discussed at the workshop.
