NSF GRFP support workshops

While tailored to the NSF GRFP, much of the material from this workshop series is applicable to good practice in writing any funding proposal. (See especially the personal and research statement resources).

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). Contact Bethann at bmerkle@uwyo.edu with questions and requests for workshops.
