Join Queen’s University Research Projects Advisors and very special guest Dr. Dawn McArthur — live and in-person! — for this hands-on, half-day grant-writing workshop at the Donald Gordon Hotel and Conference Centre on June 10, 2022.
While participants have the option of attending virtually, in-person attendees are likely to benefit more from what the workshop has to offer. Dr. McArthur will be providing tools and strategies designed to address the start-to-finish challenges of successful research grant proposals, regardless of discipline or specific funding agency.
Both early-career and established faculty members stand to benefit from the workshop, which will be divided into the following four components:
- Thinking: Laying the groundwork
- Planning: Mapping the research framework & plan
- Drafting: Finding the superstructure & translating to text
- Refining: Reviewing, reworking, crafting the style, finalizing
Following the workshop, researchers will be better prepared to find appropriate funding; interpret requests for applications; develop their research ideas, project plans, and budgets; and craft a competitive proposal.
