Asynchronous workshop: Tri-agency scholarship research proposals
If you are applying for an OGS/QEII-GSST, CIHR, NSERC, or SSHRC scholarship to fund your graduate studies, or even an Ontario Graduate Scholarship (OGS), you will be required to submit a research proposal as part of your application package. This workshop will introduce you to the research proposal as a genre, give you an opportunity to review what rhetorical strategies make proposals successful, and offer strategies for drafting and revising your own proposal.
