Strategies for Planning, Developing, and Writing Large-Team Grants
Strategies for Planning, Developing, and Writing Large-Team Grants
Webinar 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. We will discuss how these larger grants are different, what the expectations of the funding agencies are for large team and center grants, successful strategies, and common mistakes to avoid. 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.
