Grants 101: Seeking, Analyzing, and Writing Basics (Zoom)
This workshop will provide information and instruction on how to set-up and use Pivot- a funding opportunity database accessible across UMS- along with general strategies on reading funding calls and proposal writing. Annually in Oct and Mar (Tues. of fall & spring break; 10am-12pm)

Finding Funding Challenge (asynchronous)
Each day, for five days, participants will receive an email with short, self-paced tasks designed to build grantsmanship skills. You will learn how to effectively and efficiently find funding opportunities tailored to your creative and scholarly interests, strategically read and respond to a funding call, and make your grant proposal a standout. Annually during the 3rd Week of December/finals’ week
