Grant Writing Workshops

Resources from WySCI

WySCI occasionally has the opportunity to support grant writing efforts through offering workshops. We have also discussed offering a grants/proposals course which would have a strong impact on broader impacts/research impacts in society.

At this time, the resources below are what we have offered directly. Feel free to use and share widely, though we do ask that you credit those who developed these resources.

NSF GRFP Workshop Resources

While tailored to the GRFP, much of the material from this workshop series is applicable to good practice in writing any funding proposal. The recordings and slides include facilitated peer- and self-review sessions focused on clear, accessible language, compelling messaging, and more.

These resources are from a set of workshops developed and hosted in 2019 by 

Emily Gelzer & Bethann Garramon Merkle (WySCI director)
