This interactive workshop is designed to help you understand the process of developing a grant proposal of any size. You will learn what to do before you start writing, the elements of a successful proposal, and the value of good feedback. The facilitator Crystal Herron is a skilled scientific and academic editor with more than a decade of experience helping researchers secure funding from a variety of sources, from local organizations to government agencies.
Please plan to bring a laptop, an open mind, and some ideas about a project you would like to get funded. You may also bring a proposal that you are drafting. During the workshop, you will apply what you learn during the presentation to developing the key elements of your next proposal. We will also introduce the new Office of Contracts and Grants director, Karina Fantillo.
