Crafting Better Grant Proposals Using the Heilmeier Catechism Webinar

The Heilmeier Catechism, developed by George H. Heilmeier, is a series of nine questions originally used to evaluate proposed research programs at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This presentation will provide an overview of these questions, which can be employed to develop stronger, more competitive proposals by providing a framework for proposal organization that works for nearly all research areas and disciplines. Participants will learn how to employ these questions to create a compelling narrative and increase their chances of funding. This presentation is facilitated by the Office of Foundation Relations.

Who: Ohio State faculty, postdocs and graduate student researchers
When: Wednesday, April 13, 2022, 1 p.m. – 1:30 p.m.
Where: Remote (a personalized Zoom link will be included in the registration confirmation email)

Grant Writing 101: Writing a Grant Proposal for Private Funders Webinar

This webinar is designed for individuals new to, or seeking a refresher course, on writing effective grant proposals.

While the focus of this training pertains to securing funding from private foundations, much of the information is applicable to proposal development and grant-seeking broadly. This presentation is facilitated by the Office of Foundation Relations.

Who: Ohio State faculty, staff, postdoc and graduate student researchers
When: Wednesday, March 23, 2022, 3 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.
Where: Remote (a personalized Zoom link will be included in the registration confirmation email)

Better Research through Better Mentoring – Part 1 (Faculty Only) – Virtual

Date: Dec. 6 and Dec. 9 (Two Days)

Time: 11:30 a.m. -1:30 p.m.

Location: Online via Zoom

REGISTER

Attendance is limited to 25 faculty members from any discipline although many of the case studies come from STEM fields.

These mentoring workshops are now part of an endorsement in Research Mentoring from the Drake Institute. This endorsement can be used to document in your CV to document your training in this area.

Strong mentorship has been linked to enhanced mentee productivity, self-efficacy, career satisfaction, and is an important predictor of the academic success of scientists and engineers in training. The Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experiences in Research (CIMER) has developed a curriculum based on proven mentorship development research.

Federal funding agencies are calling for evidence-based development of mentoring skills as an important component of successful grant proposals. By participating in this workshop faculty will develop and/or enhance their mentoring skills and receive resources and materials to support effective mentoring of graduate students and postdoctoral trainees.
