Professional Writing: Grant Proposals (2nd Session: August 26, 1-2:30 p.m.)
August 12, 2021 at 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM
| Location: | Zoom |
| Audience: | Current Students |
This module aims to introduce participants to the process of grant proposal writing. We will review the components of grant proposals as well as explore the proposal’s key elements such as the statement of the needs/problem, goals, and objectives. Our discussion will revolve around the steps to prepare for grant seeking and the techniques of formulating and presenting ideas in the proposal. Participants may bring up other related topics.
This module is comprised of two 90-minute sessions. In Session 1, we will focus on understanding and critiquing the writing principles and advice presented in the readings. Participants will then be asked to compose a short text to be circulated to the entire group in anticipation of session 2 which will focus on critiquing the writing samples. All participants are expected to discuss the writing samples’ strengths and possible areas of improvement.
Session 1 will take place on Thursday, August 12, 1-2:30 p.m.
Session 2 will take place on Thursday, August 26, 1-2:30 p.m.
Please note that you will be asked to write an abstract of a proposal narrative (300-500) which includes the statement of needs/problem, goals, and objectives. We will discuss the assignment’s details during the first session.
All graduate students and postdocs are welcome. Because this session is being held during the spring/summer, it does NOT count toward paid pedagogical training hours for Teaching Assistants.
