Write Winning Grant Proposals

Presenter :Dr. John Robertson
Location: Van Nuys Medical Science Building (MS),326
ATS Tract:

This seminar comprehensively addresses both conceptual and practical aspects that are associated with the grant writing process, often called 'grantsmanship.'This program is appropriate for faculty members who are contemplating a competitive application to federal or state agencies and foundations in either basic science or clinical research.

Emphasis is given to such things as idea development, identification of the most appropriate granting agency, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant's case to reviewers.

It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences – the assigned reviewers, who have read the application in its entirety, and non-assigned reviewers who may have read little, or nothing, of the proposal before the meeting of the review panel. Strategies designed to merit a fundable priority score are emphasized.

All participants will receive light breakfast, boxed lunch, and a copy of The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook.  This event is free and open to all IUSM and IUPUI faculty and learners.

Note: Breakfast and lunch will be provided.

About the Presenter:

John Robertson, Ph.D. is an associate with Grant Writers' Seminars and Workshops, LLC.  He has been the recipient of competitive extramural funding from both the NIH and non-federal sources. He is the author of 27 peer-reviewed journal articles and three book chapters. Dr. Robertson has been a member of grant review panels, a reviewer for a number of biomedical journals, and served on editorial boards.

7 Sane & Sensible Email Practices

Presenter :Meggin McIntosh, PhD
Location: Other/ Off Campus,
ATS Tract:

Many faculty find that they – and those around them – are often controlled by email instead of exerting control over it. Email is one of the tools to use for building and sustaining project momentum, and it can also distract and detract from the optimum trajectory of your work.

Participants will learn:

• Ways to decrease the amount of time they spend on email by at least 50%.
• How to increase the clarity of communication, thereby amplifying productivity.
• Habits to break – that are currently costing faculty time and productivity.
• Seven sane and sensible practices to integrate into their routines.

Attendees will leave with a renewed sense of control over their email and other electronic communications.

Come join us for a teleseminar over the lunch hour from 12:00 - 1:00.  OFAPD will send a workbook to each participant prior to the session. A follow-up seminar will be available for download after the session.
