The Colleges of Agricultural Sciences, Engineering and Science would like to collaboratively invite eligible faculty to submit a concept paper for our upcoming Grant Writing Workshop Series. This series will provide individuals with (1) Step-by-step assistance throughout development of the application package; (2) Important tips and tricks for success; (3) Expert panelist conversations and (4) Peer-faculty reviews and discussions prior to submission. Dedicated writing time is built into the series with the expectation that a full application will be submitted to a funding agency at the end of the series. See the attached guidelines for further information. Application Deadline (via Concept Paper) - Required: September 23, 2020
We start with David Quammen, best-selling author of 15 books, including Spillover, and long-time contributor to Outside Magazine, as well as National Geographic, Harper's, Rolling Stone, New Yorker, and NY Times Book Review among others. His seminar, The ecology and evolution of a coronavirus, is this upcoming Friday September 25th@3pm. For background, you might read his recent article in the New Yorker. Zoom can only accommodate 500 people (link: beav.es/eecb). So please log on early in case those 500 slots are filled, which for Quammen is definitely possible. FES507 is still not full. Please sign up. The only assignment is to watch inspiring talks. Having high enrollment helps us justify securing the large rooms we need during non-pandemic times.
