Grants funding can be critical to faculty careers, but difficult to pull off on your own.
ISSR's Funding Fridays is a weekly workshop series and a set of resources aimed to support those seeking external funding. Each week, we tackle a new stage of proposal planning and development together, with the guidance of UMass experts in each topic, and in a supportive community of fellow grant-seekers.
Funding Fridays will meet in the ISSR Lab (Machmer E20) or online via Zoom on Fridays, from 11:30 am–12:30 pm. Food will be provided.
Join us for inspiration, support, and food, to make your grant-writing dreams a reality by the end of this semester!
*Funding Fridays sessions are oriented toward faculty, staff and post-doctoral scholars.
Sign up for ISSR Event emails to get notifications about upcoming Funding Fridays sessions!
Funding Fridays Course on Canvas
All who register for the Funding Fridays series will gain access to the Funding Fridays course on Canvas.
Faculty may also request access to the Canvas page without participating in Funding Fridays, but we strongly encourage you to join us each week, for expert guidance, community, and food for the body as well as the mind!
