Join the Office of the Vice President for Research as we host Dr. John Robertson for the Write Winning Grant Proposals workshop. Dr. Robertson will focus on effective grant writing strategies, point out areas that can help your proposal stand out from the crowd, and highlight differences between the funding agencies.

Grant Writers’ Seminars & Workshops was founded by academicians, for academicians to help researchers obtain formal training in how to support their work with grant proposal writing.

This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. 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. 

Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who have read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers who may have read little, or nothing, of the proposal before the meeting of the review panel. Strategies, tools, and tips designed to merit a fundable priority score are emphasized. The focus of the seminar will be on grant applications to many types of funding agencies.  

Register by October 12 to ensure your workbook order is ready on the day of the workshop.
