This event is part of 2022 National Postdoc Appreciation Week. Click here for a list of all NPAW events!
Join Dr. Erica Machulak for hands-on, interactive support sessions that are designed to provide immediate, hands-on feedback on participants’ draft proposal summaries. Drafts may be partial and at any stage of development. Feedback will be shared in an interactive small group session with postdoc peers.
Due to the interactive nature of these support sessions, there are limited seats available in this session. So that our facilitator can prepare for the session, participants will be asked to submit the one-page project summary that they wish to work on during the support session by Monday, September 12, 2022.
Dr. Machulak will be presenting a talk on Tips and Tricks for Crafting Compelling Grant Applications earlier in the day. Click here for more information and to register for this talk.
