Funding (Fridays on) Thursdays Session 4: Budgeting for Successful Research: Navigating the Redtape

One of the challenges of writing a proposal is understanding how to effectively budget to support the research you want to do, and how to write a budget justification. Ideally, you should do this work early in the process, so that your proposed activities match up with your budget. This workshop will focus on how to write a preliminary budget and budget justification for your proposal. Speakers include Carrie Morrison Penland (Grants and Contracts Coordinator, ISSR) and Katie Smith (ISSR Associate Director of Research Advancement and Operations). In this session we will also hold space for conversation regarding the status of budgeting federal grants under the new administration, as updates remain ongoing.

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, workshop series aimed at motivating, informing, and supporting faculty writing grants for submission.

Stop by each session 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 on) Thursdays sessions that interest you most, all semester long.
