SMRTS Seminars Program: Write the Right Grant

 

Event Date: Monday, June 11, 2018 1-2pm ET

 

Location(s): Webcast
Writing successful grants is part science and part art form. What are the metrics for success? What’s the best way to incorporate your research plan and team members? How can you convincingly “sell” the funder? This webinar will share approaches to articulating the vision and impact of your research to the review committee, and will include examples of successful proposals as well as submissions that were not funded. Learn best practices and strategies to optimize your chances for success.
