Summer Lunch & Learn Series: Writing a Strong Personal Statement Workshop
Co-Hosted with the Office of Nationally Competitive Awards
Don't let an unpolished proposal hold you back from a research experience!
Your research proposal is the heart of your application. This workshop will teach you the basics of writing a successful proposal. Start early so that you have time to incorporate faculty feedback.
The Writing a Research Proposal Workshop is designed to help students prepare a strong, successful research proposal for their summer research fellowship applications. In 60 minutes, students will learn the basics of writing a research proposal, review previously funded proposals, and get answers to their questions.
Some items covered include getting a head start on defining their research question, developing a project plan, creating a realistic budget, and setting their project timeline.
** This workshop is to help students applying for the CURE Fellowships, Sustainability Summer Research Fellowships, and other funded summer research fellowships on campus for Summer 2025.
The OUR will provide food for those attending in person. We will also offer a Zoom option for those who cannot attend in person.
