Event Description
The Office of Research will be sponsoring a two-day Grant Writing Workshop taught by the Grant Training Center. These workshops will be held on December 15 and 16 and are open to all Drexel University faculty and professional staff (including post-docs). These workshops are being made available to those who are in the process of submitting grants to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and/or the National Science Foundation (NSF) or who are planning submissions to these agencies.

Working both nationally and internationally, the Grant Training Center has helped institutions of higher education, K-12 schools, non-profit organizations, service professionals, foundations, government agencies, educators, researchers, and professionals from various agencies to succeed amid the complexities and rapid change of the grant writing world. They pride themselves on their tradition of integrity, expertise, and creative approach to grant development.

  • Find the appropriate program and grant mechanism for your idea

  • Identify and avoid common pitfalls of a grant

  • Develop an irresistible idea for your grant application

  • Address the pieces of the request for proposal

  • Maximize your application for competitiveness

  • Package the proposal in the requested format
