Grant Writing Course

Answer these questions to clarify your funding goals:

  • Are you seeking pilot or preliminary funding to develop a full research agenda?
  • Are you applying for dissertation, pre-dissertation, or postdoctoral research funding?
  • Do you need a stipend to write a dissertation, book, or manuscript?
  • Are you looking for a fellowship in residence with programmatic support or resources?
  • Are you planning a large-scale, multi-year research project involving multiple staff?

Tip: Be specific—funders want to know exactly what their support will achieve.
