About the Funding Fridays Series

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 collaborative learning and work sessions that will help you stay on track for your goals, or hop in 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. An online option is also available. (*Note: a separate registration is required for the November 1 session on the ABCs of the IRB). 

All registered participants will be joined to the Funding Fridays Canvas 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
