Grantwriting in the Social Sciences and the Humanities (Morning Session)

Workshop participants will receive information on funding opportunities currently available in the Social Science and Humanities disciplines while also learning how to construct their own targeted searches based on their scholarly and research interests. Further, participants will learn grant-writing techniques that make proposals stand out to reviewers and increase the likelihood of being funded.
