Description
Applying for funding is an integral part of life as a graduate student and working as a professional academic or researcher. Although you may be experienced in writing about your research, the committees reviewing your application will be composed of experts from multiple disciplines. In most cases, those evaluating your application will not be at all familiar with your specific area of research. Writing a strong fellowship application, therefore, means understanding the needs of this audience with regard to structuring a convincing narrative throughout.
Learning Objectives
Participants will learn:
- How to clearly present their proposed research for a fellowship application
- How to frame the significance of the research
Instructions
Have on hand either a draft proposal or a 1/2 to 1-page outline of a research project for which you will be (or might be) applying for a fellowship application.
Facilitator
This workshop will be led by Dr. Amanda Perry, who holds her PhD in Comparative Literature from the New York University. She has taught literature at NYU and Concordia, and she has multiple academic publications in peer-reviewed journals and edited volume
Registration
The registration will take two (2) minutes to fill out.
