Research Development Programs
Graduate School Research Fellows
Intended for researchers who have had some prior exposure to grant-writing, the Graduate School Research Fellows program addresses practical and conceptual aspects of the proposal-writing process, with emphasis on idea development, identification of the most appropriate granting agency, how to write for reviewers, and proven tips and strategies for presenting an applicant's case to reviewers.
