2009 CSREES Grantsmanship Workshops and Writing Winning Grants Workshops*

Grantsmanship workshops will be held again this fall to highlight the
competitive programs in USDA-CSREES and to help grant writers improve their
overall success. Both the CSREES Grantsmanship Workshop and the Writing
Winning Grants Workshop have received outstanding reviews from across the
country in past years. These workshops will be offered together in
Washington, DC on Nov 16 - 17 and in Kansas City, MO on Nov 10 - 11.

During the CSREES Grantsmanship Workshop an excellent group of program
directors from CSREES will be providing an overview of funding programs
within the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) and other
competitive programs and the 2010 AFRI Request for Applications. In
addition, there will breakout discussion on specific program areas as well
as a mock review panel to provide insights on successful grants and the
review process.

The Writing Winning Grants Workshop, presented by Drs Thomas Fretz and
Michael Harrington, will feature topics that include: Where to look for
funds, Principles of grant writing, Organizing integrated proposals,
Developing the grant budget, Ethics in grant writing, and Common
short-comings in the grant application.
