Evaluating Funding Fit and Sponsor Alignment
Finding funding opportunities is one thing. Knowing which ones are worth your time is another. In this workshop, participants will use opportunities identified through GrantForward to evaluate how well a funding program matches their research interests, expertise, and goals. We'll discuss how to read a funding announcement with a critical eye, identify what sponsors are really looking for, and determine whether an opportunity is the right fit before beginning the proposal process. The registration link includes options for in-person, virtual participation, or the watch party at Halstead Campus.
