Strategies for Developing Competitive Grant Proposals Web Conference
Thursday, June 23, 2005,
12:30 pm to 2:30 pm
1017 MBRB (Molecular Biology Research Building)
To R.S.V.P. contact Tony Halford via email at ahalford@uic.edu.
The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research will participate in the GRC Web Conference "Strategies for Developing Competitive Grant Proposals," a Web conference designed for faculty who are new to grant proposal writing. Mimi Tangum, GRC Director, and Dan Riggle, GRC Program Manager, will conduct the two-hour, interactive session.
Appropriate for faculty across the disciplines, the Web conference will
feature recommendations for ways to keep the needs of the audience in
mind throughout the writing process, as well as strategies for critiquing
one’s
own final draft—ways to distance oneself from one’s own words
sufficiently to read them objectively, as a review would, regardless of the
program to which one is applying. The conference also will include live links
to review criteria used by several funding agencies. Although the session
is not focused specifically on NSF or on any other single funding agency,
a proposal funded by NSF for a Teacher Quality Continuum project, developed
by faculty at Arizona State University (A GRC-member institution), will provide
specific examples of how the review critieria for that program were successfully
addressed.
Participants will be able to view, via the Web, all PowerPoint slides
as they are discussed as well as, of course, all Websites which are
linked to
at various points during the presentation. They can ask questions about
anything in the presentation, throughout the conference (either verbally,
through a
speaker phone, or in writing by typing questions in to the conference
technology’s
Question Box). The presenters will pause at several points during the conference
to answer all questions that have been submitted to the Question Box up to
that point. To the extent that time permits, participants also will have the
opportunity to ask questions via a speakerphone towards the conclusion of
the two hours.
