How to Write a Compelling Research Grant Proposal
Whether you’re a seasoned researcher or new to grant writing, we invite you to participate in this interactive workshop on crafting a compelling research grant proposal. Learn how to define your research objectives, structure your narrative, and present your ideas clearly and persuasively. Get tips and hear about lessons learned from a panel of colleagues.
You might be wondering: How do I align my proposal with the sponsor’s mission and priorities? How do I demonstrate the significance and impact of my research? How do I put together a realistic budget and timeline? These are just some of the questions we’ll explore through a set of panel presentations, round table discussions, and general Q&A.

This hybrid workshop is intended for faculty members and postdoctoral fellows in the Faculty of Education. The workshop consists of brief presentations by panelists followed by round table discussions, and an opportunity to ask questions.
