Writing the Research Project for Fellowship and Grant Proposals

This workshop is for both faculty and graduate students/post docs. Reviewers want to know what the research will accomplish, how you’re going to do it, how it’s different from other research, and why it’s important. Consequently, the workshop will show you how to break down your project into its relevant components — research question, methodology, position within the field of existing research, and major significance — and then present them. We will then practice translating the analytical or descriptive complexity of your research project into succinct, jargon-free language that reviewers will be able to understand. This workshop is designed for graduate students applying for their first fellowships and grants as well as those who wish to strengthen their research statements.
