UNL faculty can hone grant writing skills at a seminar, “Write Winning Grant Proposals,” 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., March 16 in the Nebraska Union auditorium.

Sponsored by the Office of Research and Economic Development, this free seminar is primarily for UNL faculty. Other staff, postdoctoral research fellows and graduate students are welcome to attend without charge as space allows. Advance online registration is required at http://go.unl.edu/6mc.

The seminar comprehensively addresses practical and conceptual aspects important to the proposal writing process. The session emphasizes idea development, identification of appropriate granting agencies, and tips and strategies for presenting an applicant’s case to reviewers. David Morrison, co-founder of Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, will lead the session.

Four versions of the seminar workbook are available, depending on the agency from which you plan to seek funding — NIH, NSF, USDA and a general version geared toward smaller funding agencies and foundations. Each participant may select one workbook. Please indicate your preference on the registration form.

Participants from UNMC, UNO and UNK also are welcome but will be charged a $150 fee to cover seminar costs. For non-University of Nebraska participants, the fee is $200.
