University Affairs’ Doctor Editor is “IN”! Writing winning grant proposals: Unwritten rules and best practices
What are the characteristics of a strong, feasible grant application? What grant-writing strategies can you use to show a review committee that your project is worth funding? In this presentation, Dr. Letitia Henville—the author of University Affairs' monthly advice column Ask Dr. Editor—will share evidence-based best practices for research grant proposals, with a focus on the SSHRC Insight, Partnership and Connection funding programs for faculty. She'll also show you the behind-the-scenes of how she sets up a grant application for success before the writing even starts. Bring your questions for a Q&A at the end of the presentation.
