REGISTER NOW: 2025 Grant Workshop Series

The Sponsored Programs Foundation is pleased to announce our Spring 2025 Grant Workshop Series! This workshop is best suited for those who are very new to grants and unsure of where to start. If you have a project in mind, that’s even better! Please read the descriptions below, and see the attached document which outlines the content of each session, to see if this workshop matches your needs.

The workshop will be entirely online (via Zoom) with an optional in-person gathering afterwards. The format will be a combination of lecture format, small group work, and will include a number of guest speakers. There is a minimum of between 30 minutes and one hour of additional work for each session outside of workshop hours. 

The workshops will take place over 6 sessions of 3 hours each. Dates and times are to be determined based on participant availability. We will do our best to accommodate everyone but we aim to have one session per week with a break every two weeks. Click here to Register. Registration will close at the end of the fall semester.
