Writing a Standout Research Story
September 23rd, 1:00pm–3:00pm
An effectively communicated research story is the most critical piece of any funding application. But most researchers find it challenging to write clearly—much less persuasively—about complex, not-yet-completed projects for a reviewer audience. Drawing on example abstracts, aims, and approaches, this session will break down the must-haves of a compelling proposal and your path to get there. This event is part of the Big10+ Research Development Series.
