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.

Scholarship Research Proposal Workshopping
Join the WCC in the GSA lounge to make progress revising your doctoral CIHR, NSERC, or SSHRC scholarship research proposal! We'll start with some brief general advice from the WCC on structuring and revising your proposal. Then you'll have an opportunity to apply that advice and get individualized feedback from WCC staff and other applicants in a workshopping and peer review session. Work alongside other graduate students in a supportive environment as you draft and revise your proposal.
We'll have WCC staff standing by to offer feedback and answer questions about your research proposal document as you work!
When: September 9 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Where: GSA lounge (SLC 3216)
