Applying for funding is an integral part of life as a graduate student and working as a professional academic or researcher. Although you may be experienced in writing about your research, the committees reviewing your application will be composed of experts from multiple disciplines. In most cases, those evaluating your application will not be at all familiar with your specific area of research. Writing a strong fellowship application, therefore, means understanding the needs of this audience with regard to structuring a convincing narrative throughout.
Participants will learn the following strategies:
- how to clearly present your proposed research for a fellowship application;
- how to frame the significance of the research.
You will have the opportunity to review and discuss sample proposals from a range of fields, and begin or refine your own proposal.
Requirements: Bring either a draft proposal or a 1/2 to 1-page outline of a research project for which you will be (or might be) applying for a fellowship application.
The workshop will be led by Kasia Szyszkowicz, a Vanier scholar and a PhD Candidate in Neuroscience.
The workshop will be held on McGill’s downtown campus on Tuesday, September 17, 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. Registrants will receive the workshop location in a confirmation email.
*** Please note: due to space restrictions, we can accept only 45 participants in person. All others will be able to access the workshop online with Zoom ***
