More than 14 events focused on research success will be offered by the Office of Research during the Spring 2021 semester, with more in the planning stages. In collaboration with multiple entities across campus, the office is working to provide opportunities for faculty, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students in all disciplines to put their best foot forward in applications for research support.

A wide variety of workshops will help faculty, postdocs and graduate students hone their grant writing skills; tailor grant proposals to the National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation; get advice from industry professionals on publishing in the humanities; help researchers learn about support services provided by the University, including finding funding sources; and get tips on writing a successful CUSE grant proposal or advice on improving specific grant components.

“The events planned for Spring 2021 have been developed based on feedback to a survey that we fielded in December,” says Ramesh Raina, interim vice president for research. “These workshops are designed to address what ���ϲ����� faculty have told us would be most useful. We hope to continually gather feedback and develop programming that is timely, relevant and useful to faculty, postdocs and graduate students across all disciplines.”

Highlights include:
