Grant Writing online workshop for faculty

Grant Writing course functions as a guided introduction to both searching for and writing scientific grants. The course is designed to reduce the mystery of finding and applying for international funding, specifically for European funding, that requires applications to be written in English. The course will focus on reading and interpreting the demands and conventions of specific applications, as well as how to adjust an academic writing style to fit specific formats of scientific grants.

Course Content
• Introduction to the Open4Research Paris Saclay grant proposal platform
• Benchmarking existing grant offers
• Considering transfer issues related to enhancing the value of research
• Linking research practices to the specific demands of various sectors.
• Identifying and choosing grants that match specialization, professional expertise, and career goals
• Benchmarking language and written structures employed when writing a grant proposal
• Prepare a draft of grant application content for individual consultation
• Revision of the grant application document at a professional level of quality for individual consultation

Course Objectives
Grant Writing will give participants the ability to research and respond professionally in English to grant proposals for their field of expertise. By learning to establish and solidify a strategy, participants will be able to search for and write grant proposals effectively and autonomously. The two individual consultations in the middle and the end of the course create a structured workflow to allow for participants to complete a grant proposal by the end of the course, while engaging in the benchmarking process that helps them understand the language norms in grant writing.
