    Crafting a Strong Research Proposal Workshop
    What: Learn how to craft a strong research proposal.
    When: TBA
    Where: Stuart Building Computer Lab 112F, Main Campus
    Who: This workshop is intended for IIT faculty and researchers.
    Why: Proposal writing is not at all like academic writing. You must use a variety of techniques to ensure your proposal has the best chance of being read, scoring high, and getting funded. In this workshop you will learn ways to create a strong proposal while avoiding common pitfalls.
    The workshop will also include information on how to make sure your proposal is truly "cutting edge." This means knowing how to show all the references and citations that prove you have a solid grasp of your field. A Galvin Librarian will present an overview of the resources that can help you prove your case. Each participant will receive an electronic file of links and tips.
