Funding Fridays 8: You Did It, Get Ready to Submit It!
Next Up in Funding Fridays: November 17 You Did It, Get Ready to Submit It!, with Jason Kamilar (Director of ISSR)
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

(*Note: a separate registration is required for the September 18 lunchtime 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 from ISSR for early stages of grant development.
Sessions meet most Fridays from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm - with food and drinks for those joining in the ISSR Lab, and access on Zoom for those participating online Put these dates into your calendar now to assure that you have a completed proposal draft by December!
