The Art of Proposal Writing is designed for faculty in the humanities and social sciences who plan to apply for external funding, with a focus on writing fellowship and sabbatical proposals. The workshop will feature guest speaker Cynthia Verba, Director of Fellowships in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and a panel of three FAS faculty who have written award-winning proposals. The panel will provide strategies for developing a successful proposal based on their own experience as successful grant writers.
