Research & Innovation offers a 6-week, hands-on workshop to assist participants in developing a proposal for submission to an external funding agency.  The workshop is designed to:

• Help participants identify external funding sources
• Assist step-by-step with proposal development
• Integrate peer review in the proposal development process
• Familiarize participants with internal resources for funding, statistics, evaluation, and compliance
• Introduce participants to institutional grant-writing and research-related resources
• Educate participants on procedures and policies for institutional routing and submission of grant proposals to external sponsors

This workshop is appropriate for full-time faculty and staff who:

• Are new to external funding
• Value peer review
• Desire set-aside time for proposal writing, development, and peer feedback
• Have project goals and objectives already in mind

New participants who complete the workshop and submit a proposal for external funding within a year after the 6-week workshop are eligible to receive $500 in operating costs to support their research, educational, and creative endeavors.  Please note that only full-time, permanent employees are eligible for the $500 incentive.



Workshop participants should be able to meet weekly on the Oxford campus for 1.5 hour working session (dates & times to be determined by participants' schedules).  Attendance is necessary to ensure a successful experience for all participants. Therefore, those who miss more than one session will not be eligible for the $500 in incentive fees.

If you are interested and can make the time commitment, please complete this Qualtrics survey so that Research & Innovation may select a time to accommodate a majority of schedules.
