This workshop uses a genre-based approach to help researchers produce effective grant proposals which make a strong case for the potential of their work. At the heart of this workshop is a conceptual framework for proposal writing, centered on the baseline logic of the proposal as a genre, and the associated rhetorical moves within proposal sections. In addition, participants will be presented with a model to effectively develop methodology sections, project timelines and budgets. In the second half of the workshop, participants will work on applying the baseline logic model into their own project ideas, and learn how to integrate visuals and discourse for the different sections. Finally, we will discuss how to create a persuasive line of argument through the use of themes that the potential sponsors will feel compelled  to consider for funding.  Geared towards junior faculty and graduate students.

Space is limited to 30 participants.
