Grant workshops: University Libraries and OSP offer an edge

Faculty, students and staff are invited to participate in two types of hands-on workshops offered by University Libraries and the Office of Sponsored Programs over the next month.

Show Me the Money! A Guide to and through Grant-Seeking Databases 

Two-hour introduction to grant-seeking databases: PivotCOS, GrantSelect, and Grant Advisor Plus. Participants learn to search for possible funding opportunities, practice identifying eligibility, and realize the importance of key words. Attendees will have opportunities to access databases and engage in searches related to their topic of interest.

Proposal Development – Easy as P.I.E.

Learn basic strategies and skills to successfully develop and submit competitive corporate, foundation, state, and federal proposals. Emphasis placed on proposal development and program sustainability through community engagement and partnerships.
