Strategies for Planning, Developing, and Writing Large Team Grants
This webinar workshop is intended for faculty who have been successful in winning single-PI and small team grants and are looking to transition to larger team and center-level grants. Led by Lucy Deckard of Academic Research Funding Strategies, LLC, this workshop will go over how larger grants are different, funding agency expectations for large team and center grants, as well as developing a strategy for success.
