Grant Writing II

Catalog description

This is the second semester of a 2-semester course (spring 2021 and fall 2021) and is designed to assist students writing a predoctoral dissertation grant to a federal funding agency; the skills learned, however are generalizable to other types of funders. Following an orientation to NIH and grant writing, students spend part of spring semester, all summer, and much of fall semester writing specific parts of grant applications, with an aim to submit an application in early December. Individual meetings are a mix of didactic writing strategies, invited speakers, and peer critique. Enrollment in both semesters is required. All participants must have a substantive area mentor (such as a dissertation chair) who will oversee the writing along with the instructional team. ** Prerequisite: PHDSW-GS 3079 Grant Writing I**
