Are you working on a grant proposal? Beyond preparing your work plan and budget, you must demonstrate through required supplemental proposal sections that you understand best practices, regulations, and expectations of the funder for stewardship of funds, inclusivity, and compliance.
The Office of Research and Economic Development and the Office of Inclusive Excellence offer a series of workshops on Practical Proposal Preparation (PPP) that will help you produce competitive, compliant proposal elements that leverage all of MSU’s capacities to support your goals and objectives. Fall 2024 workshop topics will include Broader Impacts Statements (Sept. 10th), Data Management Plans (Oct. 14th), and Mentoring Plans (Nov. 12th) and each workshop will provide the development resources and support you need to get started on these required components for your proposal during the workshop. Each session of the Practical Proposal Preparation workshop series is designed to enable participants to leave the event with a draft product of the featured section for their proposal.
Who should attend? The workshops are open to all faculty and grantseeking professional staff who would like "hands-on" support for developing the identified proposal component. These workshops are also appropriate for those planning a future proposal and who would like to learn more and recieve resources.
The PPP workshop on "Broader Impacts" will provide participants with context on the regulatory and guiding principles for federal agencies' requirements related to research impacts, as well as examples of successful "impacts" activities to implement. The workshop will also present sources of leveraged capacities available at MSU to support Broader Impacts, specifically the considerations for inclusivity and broadening participation through support from MSU's Office of Inclusive Excellence. Join this in-person only workshop if you'd like to leave with a great draft for your Broader Impacts statement!
