Join us for an immersive and enriching in-person workshop series specifically designed for researchers seeking to apply for large-scale external funding. Our program is tailored to help you design large, interdisciplinary, collaborative research proposals.
Spanning across the fall and spring semesters, our workshop series consists of four carefully curated sessions in each term, meeting every other week. Each session is strategically designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to excel in grant proposal development.
By participating in our workshop series, you are investing in your future success as a researcher. Our program is designed to empower you with the knowledge and skills needed to secure large grants and take your research career to new heights.
Faculty members who actively engage in 7 of the 8 sessions will receive a $500 stipend or deposit in their research account, reinforcing our commitment to fostering a robust research community at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Join us in this transformative journey to enhance your expertise and contribute to cutting-edge research and innovation.
In the fall, participants will delve into the world of large-scale grants. Through interactive sessions, you will explore proposal ideation techniques, learn how to craft compelling narratives in research, gain insights into understanding the collective impact framework, and unlock strategies for effective team collaboration.
The spring sessions will provide you with practical and hands-on learning experiences. You will have the opportunity to develop your scientific illustration skills, master data visualization techniques, and gain valuable insights into implementing successful grant proposals.
