Grant Writing Retreat May 6, 2020

The Grant Writing Retreat is open to selected individuals to provide a dedicated space and resources for participants to write a scope of work and budget for a pre-identified and approved proposal idea. The Office of Sponsored Projects (OSP) will work with the participant to turn the resulting proposal into a full application for submission to an external funder. Participants may also be allowed to complete and submit a current proposal application during the retreat. Participants are encouraged to bring laptops but the Kossen Center's computer lab will also be available for those who choose not to.
