Grantsmanship Workshop Materials

A grant writing workshop for postdocs and graduate students was held on December 12-13, 2007. The workshop was very well received and covered topics including finding the right funding mechanism (federal or private), project planning, writing and “selling” your grant, and data presentation.

A list of supplemental materials to the grant writing workshop can be found here. Annotated examples of successful grants are included.
