Are you considering applying for a grant or fellowship in the immediate future? 

Is this your first application, or are you looking for a refresher on strong grant writing practice, or what goes into a successful application? 

Are there specific more specific aspects or sections of application forms that you would like to discuss?  

 
If you answered yes to any of the above, then this series of Grant Writing Workshops might be of interest!

Objectives:

1. Learning grant writing basics 

2. Developing grant writing skills 

3. Learning about what traditionally makes for a successful grant application
