Write Winning Revisions
David Morrison, PhD

Wednesday, April 2, 2008
1:00 - 5:00 p.m.
Vontz Auditorium
Relatively few proposals (at least these days) succeed on their first submission, which means that most applicants must revise and resubmit their grant applications. Many are unsuccessful again because they lack full understanding of how revisions must be prepared to be successful. This half-day seminar program provides tips and strategies for resubmitting a proposal that can often make the difference between success and failure. The program can include discussion of the critiques of applications that have previously been submitted by members of the audience.
This seminar requires the purchase of GWSW’s grant writing workbook. This same book will be required for Write Winning Grants offered in May so you only need to purchase it once. If you have purchased a workbook in the past several years, there is no need to purchase it again. There are two versions that cover the same material but focus on either NIH/NSF type grants or Other Grants (suitable for any agency other than the NIH/NSF). The cost of the workbook is $50 and can be ordered when you complete the online registration form.
Seating is limited and registration required by March 21, 2008. Prior to this seminar, checks (payable to the University of Cincinnati) or a departmental NIU specifying participant full name must be mailed to Linda Minton, Office of Research, ML 0663.

Write Winning Grants Seminar

Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, LLC http://www.grantcentral.com/prostaff_DrRussell.html
Monday, May 5, 2008
8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Tangeman University Center (TUC), Great Hall
This widely acclaimed seminar comprehensively addresses both practical and conceptual aspects that are important to the proposal-writing process. It is designed for faculty members and administrative staff who have had some exposure to writing grant applications, either through training/mentoring or personal experience. The program can be designed to meet the needs of the audience, i.e., to emphasize the granting agencies that are of greatest interest to its members, including federal, private, and/or industrial sources. Emphasis is given to such things as idea development, identification of the most appropriate granting agency, how to write for reviewers, and tips and strategies that are of proven value in presenting an applicant's case to reviewers. Participants are taught to organize their presentations into a linear progression of logic, which leads reviewers through their applications. It is stressed that applicants are writing for two different audiences--the assigned reviewers, who have read the application in its entirety, and those who have read little, if anything, before the review meeting. Strategies designed to develop advocacy and a fundable priority score from both audiences are presented.

8:30 a.m. – noon
Vontz Auditorium
No cost but registration is required by April 18, 2008.
Participants are required to attend the Write Winning Grants Seminar on May 5, 2008 or must have completed this seminar given in Spring, 2007. (The workbook obtained in that seminar will be used for this seminar.)
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 (NIH) mentored K Awards, and the NIH’s Ruth L. Kirschstein F32 National Research Service Award for individual postdoctoral fellows. Positioning for success in advance of writing the proposal, tips and strategies that help to ensure a successful application, and principles/fundamentals applicable to any agency’s CDA are taught.

NSF CAREER Award Seminar
Stephen Russell, PhD
Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, LLC http://www.grantcentral.com/prostaff_DrRussell.html
Tuesday, May 6, 2008
1:00 – 4:30 p.m.
Vontz Auditorium
No cost but registration is required by April 18, 2008.
Participants are required to attend the Write Winning Grants Seminar on May 5, 2008 or must have completed this seminar given in Spring, 2007. (The workbook obtained in that seminar will be used for this seminar.)
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.

Intensive Grant-Writing Workshop
Stephen Russell, PhD
Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, LLC http://www.grantcentral.com/prostaff_DrRussell.html
Pre-proposal due: July 3, 2008
Onsite meeting: August 6th & 7th, 2008
Grants due: After Jan. 1, 2009
No cost but participants are required to attend the Write Winning Grants Seminar on May 5, 2008 or must have completed this seminar given in Spring, 2007. Those chosen to participate are required to submit their grant applications after Jan. 1, 2009.
The workshop program begins with Phase I, the seminar, Write Winning Grants (see above). For the Intensive Grant Writing Workshop, up to a maximum of 30 workshop participants are chosen competitively from those who attended the seminar (or an earlier seminar). Participants are selected jointly by the Office of Research and Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops (GWSW) using procedures and criteria provided by GWSW. Phase II is guided by The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook, which systematically shepherds participants through the development of their applications, section by section. Recommendations are provided regarding how a strong application can be written to any granting agency, while, at the same time, competing academic priorities are managed. The program has three objectives for each participant: 1) write and submit the best application of which s/he is capable; 2) better understand the dynamics and psychology of the review process; and 3) develop an appreciation for the importance of constructive criticism from colleagues as an important part of the proposal-development process. The workshop includes both on-site and electronic interactions between the consultant and participants, with ample one-on-one time to ensure that the specific needs of individuals are met. Either new or revised applications to federal, state, private and/or industry can be accommodated. Assistance in responding to prior review is provided to those who are writing revisions.
Faculty must contact Linda Minton at linda.minton@uc.edu with the following information (name, title, college and department, email address, grant agency, grant type and anticipated due date) before completing the application, since special instructions are sent to each registrant depending upon the type of grant application that they wish to work on.
