Seminars & Workshop Series

Mason offers a number of different seminars and workshops that focus specifically on grant development and management. The sessions are organized in three series, which are outlined below.

The Basics series, which provides an introduction to grant writing, includes sessions on seeking funding from both public and private sources, on “how to” write a proposal and also includes a session specifically for graduate students.

The Tips for Success sessions provide useful advice on how to be successful in seeking funding information, writing competitive grant proposals and creating relevant budgets. The seeking funding session includes an introduction to using SPIN, a funding source database.

The Grants Management series provides essential training for faculty and staff on managing sponsored projects. They also include monthly drop-in assistance sessions and an overview of the proposal submission process.
