Workshop #8: Final proposal checks and celebration
Evaluation of workshop series Series Description: This series of workshops will guide participants to write a competitive proposal in eight meetings over four months. Each meeting will include the following components that provide a coordinated framework for proposal completion: 1) guidance for enhancing the competitiveness of the proposal, 2) development of an individual research agenda with narrative, as well as a personalized Broader Impact Legacy narrative that enhances the proposer’s research, and 3) peer-review and feedback for continued proposal development between meetings. We are looking for faculty who will commit to attending ALL eight meetings and actively developing a proposal for submission. With guidance from successful funding seekers, members of the UWB Office of Research, and each other, participants will generate a well-designed proposal that is built upon research-related text that can be reused in subsequent proposals. In addition to producing a compelling and reusable description of their own research and broader impacts legacy, participants will learn about each other’s research and possibilities for within- and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Optional consultations between meetings provide additional support for participants working toward proposal submission before the end of the workshop series. Meetings will be held on Fridays from 11:00-1:00. Brown bag lunches are welcome. Participants should bring proposals they’re working on and/or a solicitation they’re interested in pursuing. These are the dates and tentative topics for each meeting. Topics and their order may be changed based on participant needs and feedback. Any changes to topics and their order will be communicated to those who express interest in and attend the sessions. There will be an hour for individual consulting from 1:00-2:00 following each meeting. |
