RESEARCH ENTERPRISE

August 22, 2006


The RESEARCH ENTERPRISE is the new mode of communication from the IUPUI Office of Research and Sponsored Programs (R&SP). The ENTERPRISE is published monthly, distributed by e-mail, and contains time sensitive research information as well as links to information on grants and contracts, funding opportunities, research compliance, and research centers. This information is in the process of being reorganized and will be updated monthly. The Office of Research and Sponsored Programs appreciates your feedback on this publication.

EVENTS

GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP

The annual GRANT WRITING WORKSHOP will be held on November 13, 2006 on the IUPUI campus. This workshop has previously been sponsored exclusively by the IU School of Medicine. This year, for the first time, the workshop is co-sponsored by the IUPUI Research and Sponsored Programs Office in order to encourage investigators from all over the IUPUI campus to take advantage of this outstanding opportunity. This workshop is appropriate for all faculty who are contemplating a competitive application to federal or state agencies or foundations. The workshop emphasizes idea development, how to write for grant reviewers and tips and strategies for great grantsmanship.
