We Make The Difference in Your Ability to Acquire Research Funding

It is paradoxical that, while academicians are trained in depth to do research, they usually receive little or no formal training on how to support it with extramural grants. Grant Writers' Seminars and Workshops, LLC was founded by academicians, for academicians, to help overcome that problem.

MAES Grant Writing Workshop Receives Rave Reviews

"Outstanding seminar!"
"Very helpful and enjoyable."
"Excellent."
"Great job!"

"Dr. Morrison provides a valuable service to the academic community. Thank you."

These were just a few of the enthusiastic evaluations of the MAES Preawards Office-sponsored "Write Winning Grants" workshop held Dec. 17. The sold-out workshop featured presenter David Morrison, of Grant Writers' Seminars and Workshops, who addressed both the practical and conceptual aspects of successful proposal writing.

"Dr. Morrison is an excellent presenter," said John Baker, MAES associate director, who helped plan the workshop. "He talked about things that professors need to consider when writing grants but don't always do, as well as the basics. While extremely appropriate for new faculty members, it was also valuable for senior faculty members. We [the MAES] were so pleased with the seminar and participant feedback that we've scheduled another workshop for Dec. 16, 2008. More details on registration will be available at the beginning of fall term."

CAREER DEVELOPMENT AWARD

This seminar is for Career Development Award (CDA) candidates and their mentors. It emphasizes the ‘partnering' between candidate and mentor that is necessary for one of these proposals to be successful. The kinds of CDAs that are highlighted include the National Institutes of Health's mentored K Awards, and NIH's Ruth L. Kirschstein F32 National Research Service Award for individual post-doctoral fellows. Positioning for success in advance of writing the proposal, tips and strategies that help to assure a successful application, and principles / fundamentals applicable to any agency's CDA are taught.

NSF CAREER AWARD

The purpose of the National Science Foundation's CAREER Award is to create faculty members who will use their research to attract and motivate students to learn better. It is a very prestigious award. Acquisition of a CAREER Award is particularly distinguishing in the developing career of an assistant professor, which is why so many apply for it – most without success. The principal reason for failure is lack of understanding of how the application must be written, which is what this seminar teaches.
