Grants Writing Workshops

Facilitated by Emma Taati, Associate Director, SSRC-Mellon Mays Program, Social Science Research Council and Nicole Stahlmann, Director of Fellowships, American Council of Learned Societies, these workshops will help students learn how to navigate dissertation funding options and how to write competitive applications.  They are open to all GC students in the humanities and social sciences but have a specific focus on funding opportunities for dissertation writers from historically underrepresented groups.  The workshops will focus on identifying the organizations most likely to support your project, packaging your project to meet eligibility criteria, and writing for screeners and search committees.

Participation is restricted to students who submit a completed prospectus and curriculum vita no later than Friday, 19 April 2013.  All materials must be submitted via email to the following address: ResearchFundingWorkshop@gmail.com. Workshop materials will be shared via Dropbox at the following link: GC Diss Funding Workshop Spring 2013.

The workshops will be held in two sessions:

v  Friday, 26 April, 2013 11:45am – 1:45pm (Room 6494)

v  Friday, 3 May, 2013 11:45am – 1:45pm (Room 6493)

(Please note that participants are expected to attend both sessions!)

The workshops are free and lunch will be served.  Space is limited.
