Vancouver faculty and graduate students will hear strategies for winning grant proposals at a daylong seminar on Friday, March 31, in the Multimedia Classroom Building, WSU Vancouver.
Topics will include: research and design of successful proposals; importance and roles of both program managers and reviewers; the writing process and a question-and-answer session. A panel of representatives from regional foundations will discuss how to approach foundations to determine the appropriateness of a particular program for their funding.
Eric Shulenberger, with the Graduate School at the University of Washington, will present the seminar. A former federal research program manager, he regularly teaches proposal strategy, tactics and writing. He is candid about what works, what doesn’t and why.
Registration costs $75 — or $95 after March 20. Graduate student seating is limited; it costs $50. Register at www.ogrd.wsu.edu/workshops.asp. For more information, see www.vancouver.wsu.edu/research.
