Interested in funding your project, but not sure where to begin? Maybe you’ve written a proposal before, but you aren’t sure how the process works at Bates? Curious about scary-sounding phrases like export controls, budget justification, or biosketch? 

If this is you, please join the ORSP team for a fun, interactive lunch session. Topics include planning grants to align with your career goals, the grant life cycle, proposal elements (read: it’s not just an essay), budget-building, and a general overview of how it all works. This is meant to be informational, but also casual and accessible with lots of space for questions. Please go through the lunch line, charge your meal to the event, and join us upstairs. All are welcome!
