How to Write a Successful Grant Application
Dr. Stephen Steadman

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event

Many researchers writing grant applications make serious errors despite having outstanding ideas that are well worth support by federal agencies. These include sending the proposal to the wrong program, missing deadlines for proposal submission, and submitting incomplete or poorly written proposals. A description of the proposal process will be presented with information to help avoid these and other errors, with particular emphasis on funding in the physical sciences by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. Dr. Steadman has been a Program Director/Manager in both agencies. Please send email request by Monday, Jan. 25 for a copy of handout materials. Video conferencing of presentation may be arranged -- please contact S. Steadman.
