This workshop is designed to help participants write a more effective grant proposal by offering strategies for identifying what funding sources to look for, tailoring research ideas to fit the call for proposals, and developing a compelling narrative that will get ideas funded. Experts across campus will join this session to discuss resources and support for grant writing at Auburn University. Participants will have time to work on their grant writing projects, so bring your notes, drafts, or calls for proposals with you. This spring, the Grant Writing Workshop will be held on May 4 from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the University Writing Studio (2056 RBD Library).

The Faculty Mindful Writing Retreat aims to help faculty of all ranks develop and refine healthy writing habits and make progress on research or creative scholarship. Participants will integrate well-being into their writing processes through contemplative practices such as yoga, meditation, and reflective writing. They will also enjoy ample shared writing time and community conversations about writing and academic life.
