Grant proposal writing: The course introduces participants to strategies for drafting and writing successful grant proposals to various funding agencies. It consists of lecture-like sequences with active audience participation that focus on extracting the character of a successful project from the official RFP documents, developing a new idea for a research project into an initial work plan, visualizing the structure of the project, aligning the project with the reviewers' expectations, formulating objectives, innovative aspects, and impact, and calculating the budget.
