Grant Writing Workshops sponsored by CTD

OGS is now more or less ensconced in its new digs, the fourth floor of the Student Services Center. Come for the signatures, stay for that glorious new drywall smell.

The Center for Teaching Development is an out-and-out fantastic resource for many reasons, but I recently learned that they also sponsor grant writing workshops. The spring quarter one is coming up soon. Here's the information:

Each quarter GRANT WRITING IN THE SCIENCES is offered by Peter Wagner, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Bioengineering, at the School of Medicine, UCSD. Dr. Wagner has been leading these workshops for CTD since 2001. Dr. Wagner has written an article on this topic for The Physiologist-- "On writing a grant application: a personal view."

Success in academe, particularly in a research institution, can often be correlated with success in grant writing. CTD provides this opportunity for graduate students, TAs, faculty, and postdoctoral fellows to explore the issues involved in effective grant writing--what are the components that, if known and well-executed, can equate with success?

* Although Dr. Wagner's presentation is geared to grant writing in the sciences, it is open to participants from any discipline. Approximately 50 to 75 people attend these sessions. CTD also offers supplemental workshops for grant writing in the humanities and social sciences; however, much of the information supplied by Dr. Wagner is applicable to other disciplines.

The Spring Quarter workshop will be held on Wednesday, April 25 from noon to 1:30 pm in Garren Auditorium on the School of Medicine campus.
