Write Winning Grant Proposals: An In-Person Seminar in Four Parts (Core, NIH, NSF, USDA)

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

REGISTRATION IS CLOSED

Presented by Dr. John Robertson, Ph.D., Grants Writers' Seminars & Workshops

This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects of writing competitive grant proposals.  Emphasis is given to such things as idea development, understanding the role (and mindset) of your reviewers, and strategies and tips for each major section of a grant proposal. Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through an application. It is noted that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers who may have read little, or none, of the proposal before the meeting of the review panel.  

This seminar will focus on proposal writing for federal agencies (NIH, NSF and USDA) with a required CORE session in the morning on November 14.  Then you may choose to attend either the NIH session in the afternoon on November 14, the NSF session in the morning on November 15 and/or the USDA session in the afternoon on November 15.  It is possible you may choose to attend the NIH, the NSF and the USDA sessions in addition to the CORE session. Regardless of funding agency, the majority of this content will be relevant and usable for individuals applying to various funding entities (e.g., private foundations, professional organizations, and state agencies).  

All participants will receive an extensive electronic handout, as well as a field-relevant copy of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook.  The workbook is designed to facilitate application of what is learned in the seminar to the writing of each attendee’s individual grant proposal after attending the seminar sessions.  

The cost per workbook is $75 and will be billed to the department chosen in the registration link.

Note—This seminar will be presented as a four-part in-person seminar. You are required to attend the CORE session before attending either the NIH the NSF and/or the USDA sessions.  The CORE session is critical for maximal understanding and future usage of the directed writing approach, followed by attending the NIH and/or the NSF session and/or the USDA session.
