June 16, at 1 p.m. Eastern
On June 16, at 1 p.m. Eastern, Mary W. Walters will lead an Inside Higher Ed audio conference on concrete steps that colleges and universities can take -- whether theyare major forces in sponsored research or relative newcomers to the scene – to help their faculty members write more effective funding applications. Ms. Walters has worked with academics on grant proposals and other writing projects for more than 20 years.
Among the topics she will cover:
• Encouraging faculty members to see their proposals from the perspective of reviewers.
• The importance of context.
• Developing a grant-writing timeline.
• Helping faculty members – experts in their fields – to write with clarity.
The program will feature a 30-minute presentation and a 30-minute question-and-answer period. The entire program will last one hour.
The conference is ideal for:
• Grant-writing offices
• Offices of sponsored research
• Deans and department heads
• Provosts
• Faculty members who want to apply for grants
This audio conference, "Helping Your Faculty Land More Grants," costs $199 for a single telephone line; listen yourself or with a group around a conference table. (Institutions wishing to have multiple people participate from separate locations may need to purchase additional lines.) Register early -- through Wednesday, June 2 -- and the cost is only $149. Upon registering, you'll be e-mailed information about how to dial in. The day before the conference, we'll send you a PowerPoint that you can use to follow along with the presentation. This is an audio-only conference; you will not need to be connected to the Internet to participate.
