Grant Writing Institute

About the Institute

The Grant Writing Institute was established in 2017 to help faculty members receive external funding to support a specific program of research. Participation is based on a competitive application process. Participants are expected to finish the Institute with a grant proposal ready for submission.

A complete description of the Institute format and participation guidelines can be found below.

Apply to Participate

Faculty members interested in applying for the Institute should submit the following materials via email to Jenny Goddard by October 15. Be sure to discuss the application with your department chair prior to submission as participation is strongly dependent upon their ability to provide course relief.
