A grant writing workshop entitled “How to a Write Successful Career Development Award Proposal” led by Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, LLC. This seminar is for Career Development Award (CDA) candidates and their mentors. It emphasizes the “partnering” between candidate and mentor that is necessary for one of these proposals to be successful. The kinds of CDAs that are highlighted include the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) mentored K Awards, and NIH’s Ruth L. Kirschstein F32 National Research Service Award for individual post-doctoral fellows. Positioning for success in advance of writing the proposal, tips and strategies that help to assure a successful application, and principles / fundamentals applicable to any agency’s CDA are taught.

A grant writing workshop entitled “How to a Write Successful Career Development Award Proposal” led by Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, LLC. The purpose of the prestigious National Science Foundation’s CAREER Award is to support junior faculty members who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research. Acquisition of a CAREER Award is particularly distinguishing in the developing career of an assistant professor, which is why so many apply for it – most without success. The principal reason for failure is lack of understanding of how the application must be written, which is what this seminar teaches.
