Abstract

The Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) has established a new Institute on Proposal Writing designed to assist faculty in writing research grant proposals. The Institute will accommodate about 48 participants from all fields covered by CUR (natural sciences including engineering as well as sociology and related disciplines). Each participant will be matched with other proposal writers and a facilitator in their field. On average, each group will consist of four proposal writers and one facilitator. The facilitators are faculty and administrators who are experienced and successful proposal writers and critics; all have received grants from many different agencies, and most have served on review panels. Last year there were facilitators with expertise in virtually every important granting program, and this year should be no different.
