WiCS is hosting a free, online 2-day grant writing workshop March 16 and 17, 2023. This program is primarily intended for WiCS members actively working on a research proposal and will include dedicated writing time, peer discussion, tips and tricks for grant writing, and an NSF Program Officer roundtable, as well as yoga breaks and supportive conversations. The schedule is from 9 am to 6 pm EDT with organized programming between 11 am and 4:45 pm EDT and extended individual writing times at either end of the day to cover participants from different time zones. See tentative schedule below.
Register for this event here >>. Registration closes Monday, March 6, 2023
Participants are encouraged to commit to the full two-day workshop, but we understand that teaching and other responsibilities may make this difficult. We welcome participants who want to just attend a portion of the event and have a special registration for just the NSF Program Officer Roundtable.
Attendees will receive further information for Zoom log in and activities by email closer to the workshop.
