Grant Writing in the Humanities
Webinar Details
In the current funding landscape, it’s more challenging than ever to win funding for scholarly projects in the humanities. To win highly competitive grants, proposals must be succinct, compelling, and crystal clear to reviewers and program officers who are not experts in your field. In this webinar, you will learn crucial grant writing techniques and come away with a checklist of dos and don’ts. A Q&A session will follow the talk.
