The Office of Research and Innovation will offer its annual “Write Winning Grant Proposals” seminar in person on Feb. 27, 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m., at the Willa Cather Dining Complex, Red Cloud Suite. Registration and continental breakfast will be 7:45-8:30 a.m.
Those who register by Feb. 1 will receive their workbook in person. Those who register on and after Feb. 2 will receive their workbook following the workshop. The workbook is not needed for the workshop.
This seminar is free for University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty, postdoctoral research fellows and university staff. Faculty from other University of Nebraska campuses may attend but will be charged $150 to cover seminar costs. Participants not affiliated with NU are welcome to attend and will be billed approximately $200. This workshop is not open to graduate students.
The seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects important to the proposal writing process, emphasizing:
- Idea development;
- Identification of appropriate granting agencies;
- How to write for reviewers; and
- Proven tips and strategies for presenting an applicant’s case to reviewers.
Faculty, staff and postdocs can select one of the seminar’s four workbooks, depending on the source from which they plan to seek funding: National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Agriculture, or a general version geared towards smaller funding agencies and foundations.
Due to contractual restrictions, R&I is unable to record the Zoom workshop, and a recording will not be available after the sessions.
