The Graduate School and the Council of Graduate Students (COGS) is sponsoring 25 graduate students for the Write Winning Grants Seminar 2020 on May 6 offered by the Vice President for Research and Innovation. We will pay the $100 registration fee for interested students.
Because this is a limited opportunity, if you register you must be committed to attending this workshop. Please do not keep another student from attending if you are unsure of your plans. Although we are paying the $100 fee, we require a $10 deposit that will be refunded to you after your participation in the workshop. Registration will close once all the slots are filled.
Write Winning Grants Seminar 2020
Wednesday, May 6th- 8am-5pm
Molecular Plant Sciences Bldg., Auditorium Room 1200
John Robertson from Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops will be the seminar presenter. Robertson is a recipient of competitive extramural funding from both the NIH and non-federal sources. He has served as a member of grant review panels, a reviewer for various biomedical journals, as well as a member of journal editorial boards.
This all-day seminar comprehensively addresses practical and conceptual aspects that are important to writing competitive and successful grant proposals. It is designed for faculty, graduate students, and staff who have exposure to writing grant applications and want tips and strategies for effectively presenting their research case.
Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic that leads reviewers through their applications. The seminar also emphasizes strategies for writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers, who often read little or none of the proposal before the review meeting.
$100 fee includes lunch and required workbook.
