GRANTS & WRITING WORKSHOPS

 

 

We have also discussed offering a grants/proposals graduate course course which would have a strong impact on broader impacts/research impacts in society. Please contact us and/or the UW Research and Economic Development Division to register your interest in and support for the build-out of these types of support programs.

Graduate Scholarly Writing Program  

Since 2020, WySCI director Bethann Garramon Merkle has partnered with Rick Fisher, director of the UW Communication Across the Curriculum program. Each semester, they run a six-week cohort program for graduate students. Fall cohorts focus on foundational mindsets and practices that are essential to productive writing in any discipline and genre. Spring cohorts focus on fine-tuning valuable writing methods, including a weekly writing practice, writing group/accountability group strategies, and numerous other practical tools. Participation in the fall cohort is recommended prior to participation in a spring cohort. Since 2020, these programs have supported several hundred students to improve their mindset and sense of self-efficacy with writing.
