Launch of 2021 Grant Writing Mentoring Program for NSU Faculty

Hosted by the NSU Grant Writing Lab and Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine, this year’s Grant Writing Mentoring Program will support early stage NSU researchers (i.e., those who do not have past success in winning grant funding for their work) in the grant seeking process. The mentoring program will pair established researchers (i.e., those with experience and success applying for and winning research funding) with these junior faculty with the aim of writing and submitting an internal or external grant application by the end of the program period. Participation in this program will allow mentees access to external grant review of their proposals as well as equip them with their own grant writing handbook.

The 2021 program plans to welcome a cohort of 10 mentees and 10 mentors. The overarching goal is to increase the capacity (i.e., knowledge and skills) of NSU researchers early in their careers to find, apply for, and be competitive to receive grant support for their research. This goal will be accomplished through an approximately year-long program that features one-on-one meetings between mentees and their mentors, check-ins with the program’s Advisory Committee, and utilization of NSU’s grantsmanship trainings and resources.

Full-time NSU faculty fitting the Mentee Criteria & Commitment (https://www.nova.edu/tred/research-resources/grant-writing-mentoring-program.html) should submit an application online by March 1, 2021.  For more information on participating in this program as a Mentee, please join us on Zoom on Thursday, Feb. 25, 12:30-1:00pm. The program Advisory Committee will discuss program goals, Mentee expectations, and program timeline.
