Research Proposal Development and Funding Mechanisms

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to guide students to write scientific research proposals for submission to funding agencies. The emphasis is on grant and fellowship funding opportunities most relevant to psychology researchers. The course will offer guidance on selecting a suitable research topic, organize and plan the project, identify a funding agency, write the proposal, and on how to manage the project once it is funded. The course also discusses the ethical responsibilities of the researcher, the proposal review process, and what alternatives are available once research or a grant proposal is not approved for funding.
