Join the WE-CAN community of women entrepreneurs for new insights and takeaways on the art of grant writing for small business owners.

Governments at all levels regularly provide grant opportunities to small businesses, these grants occur throughout the year and are designed to support small businesses in a variety of ways including, for example, with their training and development needs.

Female business owners, both new and experienced, sometimes hesitate to apply for grant opportunities due to a lack of experience or confidence with the process.

This 90-minute workshop is designed to build capacity for grant writing within the small business sector, specifically those owned by women. It will introduce owners, managers and staff to a variety of strategies and skills which will increase their comfort and confidence with grant writing.

Each of these strategies can be easily translated into concrete steps and action items. This seminar will increase participant’s readiness to engage with grant writing on behalf of their agencies and businesses.

Goals for this workshop include:

• To increase understanding of why it is important to be strategic with grant writing
• To clearly define long term and short-term grant writing strategies
• To increase familiarity with the marketing and business elements of a grant writing strategy
• To introduce participants to narrative elements in part of grant writing
• To introduce participants to a 3-stage model of grant writing

NOTE: Registered attendees will be emailed a Zoom link to the online session by separate email prior to the event.

The WE-CAN Project is committed to providing universal access to all of our events. Please email kerry.ramsay@queensu.ca if you have accessibility requirements as soon as possible as advance notice is necessary to arrange for some accessibility needs.

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio (VPR) proudly presents the webinar “Embedding EDI in Knowledge Mobilization, Translation, and Data Management”.

Knowledge mobilization, translation, and data management practices that are founded on equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) principles are crucial to consider at the earliest stages of research design, and throughout the implementation of a research project. These practices can also be considered when strategizing for research impact and preparing data management plans.

���˴�Ƭ this Event:

This is the third in a series of three webinars to support researchers at every stage of their careers to embed EDI in their research practices. This series is closely tied to the online EDI in Research training modules that were developed for the Queen’s research community by the Human Rights and Equity Office and Vice-Principal Research Portfolio. These asynchronous modules can be accessed from the VPR Portfolio website: Integrating EDII in Research.

At this webinar, participants will:

1. Listen to a short presentation highlighting key components and questions for researchers, at any stage of engagement with equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI), to consider how to incorporate EDI in knowledge mobilization, translation, and data management practices. 
2. Network with colleagues from across the Queen’s research community, to exchange knowledge about their experiences with embedding EDI in knowledge mobilization, knowledge translation, and data management, including wise practices, the various challenges that may emerge, and the techniques used to work through them. 
3. Explore actions to begin to implement or to further enhance how to embed EDI in knowledge mobilization, translation, and data management practices. 
4. Engage in a brief discussion period with fellow participants and webinar facilitators.

The Vice-Principal Research Portfolio (VPR) proudly presents the webinar “Developing Inclusive Research Teams”.

A research project can benefit from team members who draw from a diversity of ideas, skills, and experiences to inform the content, delivery, outcomes, and overall success of the research project. Processes for planning, recruiting, and retaining team members, as well as building a more inclusive research culture that fosters a sense of belonging among research team members, are key components to developing inclusive research teams.
