Dear COEHD Faculty: I received an announcement from the Dean of Graduate Studies regarding a professional development opportunity for our graduate students. As part of the new professional development focus and vision of The Graduate School, they will be providing weekly training sessions on writing grant proposals throughout the summer months. These sessions are to be progressive, meaning students will have specific goals to reach on their proposal for each session. By the end of the summer sessions, students will be prepared to submit their proposal for funding consideration. These sessions are intended for students planning to submit grant proposals during the coming fall 2016 semester. Students who participate in the summer sessions and submit a grant proposal will receive a fellowship from The Graduate School. Please submit names of students from your department and program areas to participate in this training no later than June 17, 2016. Submit names (along with student ID and email address) to John Shaffer, john.shaffer(a)utsa.edu. The Grant Proposal Training is a collaborative initiative with The Graduate School and The Office of The Vice President for Research. Please encourage any interested graduate student to apply for this training opportunity. Sincerely, Amaury Nora, Professor & Associate Dean for Research Executive Director for Research Integrity College of Education and Human Development University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78249 210.458.4112
