Writing an Effective Fellowship / Research Proposal
Instructor
Karen Daniels (North Carolina State University, USA)
This workshop is designed for researchers who are just getting started writing research and/or fellowship proposals. In an interactive format, we will cover the key elements of a successful proposal, learn how to read a call for proposals from both the writer's and the reviewer's perspective, and practice some techniques for brainstorming and organizing our ideas. If you have a future application deadline in mind, you'll have several opportunities to craft ideas, and we'll also discuss how to find new opportunities to fund you and your work
Topics Covered
- Understanding funding calls and review criteria
- Structuring a compelling proposal
- Developing clear research objectives and impact statements
- Identifying fellowship and research funding opportunities
