The Office of Research and Innovation is offering the grant-writing seminar, “Write Winning Grant Proposals.”

This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. Emphasis is given to such things as idea development, identification of the most appropriate granting agency, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant’s case to reviewers.

Participants are taught to write with a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who have read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers who may have read little, or nothing, of the proposal before the meeting of the review panel. Strategies, tools and tips designed to merit a fundable priority score are emphasized. The focus of the seminar will be on grant applications to many types of funding agencies.

All participants will receive an extensive handout, as well as a selected hard copy version of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook.

This seminar is free for University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty, postdoctoral research fellows and university staff. This seminar is not open to graduate students.

This one day in-person workshop is offered on Feb. 27, 8:30 a.m. - 5:00.
