“Nuts & Bolts of Social Sciences Grant Proposals” is a four-week course designed specifically for faculty in the social sciences who are either new to WSU grant writing or who want to hone their skills.
The course consists of four 1.5-hour sessions, including lectures, participant discussion, take-home assignments, and in-class sharing and feedback on the take-home assignments.
