The purpose of this workshop is to help students develop proposals for the Graduate Student Summer Minigrants for Multidisciplinary Research on COVID-19 and its Impacts (MRCI). We will give a brief overview of the minigrant program and highlight the key elements in the call for proposals. Afterward, we will transition into walking you through what the review committee considers vital for a strong proposal. First, we will break down the evaluation criteria so that applicants understand what the evaluators are looking for. With this information in mind, we will then explore exercises that will allow you to transform your ideas into a proposal format that strategically addresses the criteria. Once you have an idea of what your proposal strategy is, we will proceed to outline the various sections of the proposal and offer models on how to write them well.
