TRIO Grant writing is a honed skill. Understanding how to navigate the current climate and structure your proposal for funding success is critical. Using group exercises, thoughtful discussions, and experienced faculty, COE will host a virtual UB, UBMS, and VUB Writing Workshop to assist participants in writing a competitive grant proposal. Critical areas of the proposal will be dissected and reviewed carefully with participants, as well as helpful hints learned from past competitions. Participants will be able to submit up to three sections of their *new* grant proposal for review by COE faculty as a part of their COE membership benefits.

UB, UBMS & VUB Proposal Writing Workshop is for COE Institutional Members ONLY!

*Please note this is an event for members only as part of COE membership benefits.  If your registration shows a price, please contact Vanessa Ramirez at [email protected] to discuss membership options.
