Introduction to Academic Writing Research Proposals - Part II

Grant writing is an essential part of a scientific career; therefore, honing grant-writing skills is an important part of an academic education!

In this second session, we will continue to deepen our introduction to writing academic research proposals, placing a strong focus on academic English usage. We will cover:

• characteristics of letters of inquiry and pre-proposals
• important linguistic aspects of proposal abstracts and specific aims
• ideal ingredients of the background and significance section(s)
• ways to describe innovative aspects of your proposal
• how and where to cite preliminary findings to support your aims
• the use of language to convince reviewers that you can achieve your proposed aims

This session is appropriate for PhD students in the final year of their studies or early-stage postdoctoral researchers.
