The University of Chicago Library and the College Center for Research and Fellowships are sponsoring a new workshop series designed to help undergraduates produce successful proposals for research grants and fellowships.
Tools and Strategies for Successful Research Proposals aims to build students’ information literacy and research skills. First, you will understand how scholarship is commonly communicated across disciplines, as well as learn how to search, identify, evaluate and use sources. Next, you will learn how to effectively read scholarly sources, develop a literature review and a framework for research design, with an ultimate goal of writing a persuasive research proposal, which can be used for successful UChicago and external grants, national fellowships and graduate school applications. The sessions build upon each other, but they are also stand-alone, and students in all disciplines are welcome to attend any of the five sessions that are especially relevant to their research endeavors.
Registration is required.
