To promote grantsmanship skills and to help improve success in securing extramural funding, I am pleased to announce that the IFAS Dean for Research office will once again be hosting a grantsmanship workshop this spring. The workshop will include a full-day seminar (“Writing Winning Grants;” April 29) and a half-day seminar (“NSF CAREER Award;” April 30), both hosted by Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, LLC.
The full-day “Write Winning Grants” seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. It is designed for faculty members who have had some exposure to writing grant applications, either through training, mentoring, or personal experience. The half-day “NSF CAREER Award” seminar is focused on teaching how to apply for the CAREER Award, which can be a distinguishing accomplishment in the career of an assistant professor. Both workshops will be presented by Dr. Peg AtKisson, who has averaged $10-$12 million a year in successful grant applications to many different federal agencies and private foundations. She has been teaching grantsmanship seminars since 2008.
