Of interest: Professional Grant Development Online Workshop (The Grant Training Center) June 15-16, 2021. 9:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. CT.

The goal of this webinar is to teach participants in-depth, how to find Tri-Council (NSERC, SSHRC, CIHR), foundation and corporate donors opportunities, understand guidelines, write a compelling Need/Significant Statement, and assemble all the key elements of a proposal. Given the highly competitive nature of grant funding, this training has a proven record of giving an edge to persuade reviewers and win funding.
