    Good day, everyone!

     

    Does anyone have any recommendations for training for a PI on how to write proposals for funding in the sciences?  Online would be great, of course!

     

    Thanks, and take care and stay safe, all!

    As someone new to the research world, I love this question! I'll be curious to see what suggestions people have.

    Hi there, Pam!

    One suggestion I have is to take a look at the NORDP website. I found this page with some online resources, but they also do online events such as mentoring and workshops.

    Another resource that we used when I was in research administration is the Grant Professionals Association. They have some amazing on demand webinars that span topics from evaluation best practices through to proposal development/grant writing.

    Hope this helps!

    Hi Pam,

    In collaboration with our institutional Postdoctoral Office, our Grants Development team offers a proposal development workshop twice per year, and they offer a Grant Writing Guide .  Unfortunately, it's all behind our fire wall, so I can't share that.  They do have some links to resources, though:

    Sample successful applications:
    https://cancercontrol.cancer.gov/is/funding/sample-grant-applications
    https://www.niaid.nih.gov/grants-contracts/sample-applications
    https://www.nccih.nih.gov/grants/grant-writing-advice-and-sample-applications

    Across the street from us, UCSD often offers extension courses in grant writing.  Here's one:  https://extension.ucsd.edu/courses-and-programs/grant-writing-for-nonprofits   While it's not geared specifically toward a science PI per se, the concepts are universal with respect to getting your ideas across to a funding agency and learning the ins-and-outs of grantsmanship.

    I'd be surprised if more of our colleagues didn't have some awesome suggestions!

    Happy weekend, everyone.

    cheers,
    -Lisa
