[Prevscilist] Winter Term Grant Writing Seminar in Psychology

[Prevention Science Program]

****

This winter term Brice Kuhl and Phil Fisher in Psychology will once again be offering a grant writing seminar. This time around it will be meeting on Fridays from 9-11:50 in Straub 257. The focus of the seminar is on NIH grant applications (this includes NRSA applications for students and K awards as well as R21/R01 applications for postdocs and faculty).  However, much of the content is also helpful in pursuing funding from other federal agencies (e.g., NSF, IES) and foundations (e.g., Templeton, Spencer).

The course is a combination of (a) didactics about what makes for a fundable proposal and how the review process works, and (b) a "writer's workshop," in which writing is critiqued using peer feedback to facilitate communication of ideas with precision and specificity. In between weekly class meetings, participants are both writing their own proposals and and/or providing feedback to others. The seminar is designed to be pretty intensive and fast moving--10 weeks to produce a full grant application isn't much time, especially for those who haven't done it before.

There are two options for the course: 1 credit or 3 credits. Regardless of what option students choose, they must speak to their advisor before registering to consider whether the time is right to enroll in the seminar and whether to take the 1 or 3 credit option.

Students taking the course for 3 credits produce a grant application based on a research idea they would like to pursue, and also provide regular feedback to others writing grants in the course. The application follows the NIH structure, which makes it appropriate for an NRSA proposal or other small grant you might submit after completing your Ph.D.   The 3 credit option is most appropriate for 3rd year students and beyond.

Students taking the course for 1 credit do not write a proposal but do actively participate in all other aspects of the course, including providing feedback to their peers about the applications being written.  This option is great for anyone who wants to learn about grant writing but isn't ready to submit a proposal yet. The course is generally not recommended for first year students.

Students are welcome to take the course more than once, and we welcome those with experience from prior years.

Pre-registration is required for all participants. In order to pre-register, please complete this form no later than December 2nd.
