Next Up in Funding Fridays: December 9 Workshop | You Did It, Get Ready to Submit It!, with Cristine Smith (Associate Dean of Research, College of Education)
You are almost there! We will focus on the final stages of organizing, editing and polishing your research proposal. This last training features Cristine Smith, Associate Dean for Research & Engagement in the College of Education, who will share her insights on what happens in review panels after your grant is submitted. The goal of this final workshop is to leave you feeling capable of submitting.
About the Funding Fridays Series
Register once, for as many sessions as you need!
Grants funding can be critical to faculty careers, but difficult to pull off on your own given limited time. ISSR invites you to take part in a flexible, 8-session workshop series aimed at motivating, informing, and supporting faculty writing grants for submission.
Stop by each week for remote workshops, writing sprints, and research design office hours that will help you stay on track for your goals, or hop on and off for only the sessions you need. Our registration form offers you a one-stop chance to sign up for the Funding Fridays sessions that interest you most, all semester long (*Note: a separate registration is required for the September 19 session on the ABCs of the IRB).
- Missed the start but want to join in? No worries, you can sign up at any time.
- Already registered but want to add sessions? Send us an email, and we'll add your selections.
All registered participants will be joined to the Funding Fridays Moodle course, where you will find a full library of helpful resources for all stages of the grant writing process. New registrants can review past materials, and seek support for early stages of grant development in our bi-weekly Research Design Office Hours.
Sessions meet most Fridays from 11 am - 12 pm on Zoom. Put these dates into your calendar now to assure that you have a completed proposal draft by December!
