Bring drafts to In-person meetings for review.
All sessions are modular, and you may attend when relevant or time permits. However, you are strongly encouraged to attend all sessions to build community and strengthen your grant writing knowledge/skills.
Review any necessary links and resources to help prepare.
Office Hours weeks are designated for trainee drop-in and for the moderators to read and review drafts – please send drafts as early in advance as possible.
