Fall 2023 Grant Writing Class
Getting a grant funded can be one of the most important things for your scientific career. The Fall 2023 Grant Writing Class is a four-week class for postdocs and students who want to learn about grant writing, who are planning on submitting a grant (F30, F31, F32, K99/R00, or any other grant), or who are actively writing their grant.
Participants will attend the in-person lectures for four weeks. Those who would like can be assigned to a writing accountability group which will give you feedback on the topic covered that week. Trainees can also participate in a mock study section before the grant deadline.
