Grant Writing Workshop
This two-hour program featured two sessions. The first session opened with an overview of the grant submission process, briefly outlining funding opportunities and how to navigate those. Session one also addressed critical points of government and private sector grant submissions. The second session consisted of a “mini-study section,” allowing attendees to experience how a study section evaluates a grant proposal, which helped attendees identify points that determine the success or failure of a grant proposal and help them optimize the process of grant re-submission.
