Grant Writing Academy Centering joy and belonging in grant writing and beyond

“I was so nervous to even start the proposal because I felt like I just got to grad school and had no idea what I was doing. The thing is that no first year grad students know what they’re doing! And that’s fine. My rotation mentor was a huge huge help with the research proposal and I wish I had started talking with her earlier rather than stressing by myself. Also, you can reuse lots of your grad school application materials for the personal statement.”
