Grant and Proposal Writing Assistance Available
Grant and proposal writing and editing help are now available for faculty. Brought to you by the University Writing Center (UWC), in conjunction with the Writing Program and a grant from the Vice President for Research, a graduate Writing Fellow is now available to help you with the writing, editing, and style issues of grants and proposals. Individual consultations may be scheduled with Jacob Bender, UWC Writing Fellow, and at the UWC during the following hours:
| Monday - Thursday | 10:00 - 1:00pm |
| Monday - Tuesday | 4:00 - 7:00pm |
The UWC Writing Fellow will also be available to conduct hour-long workshops on grant writing and topics of general writing interest. These may be scheduled Thursdays from 5:30 – 7:30 p.m. on-site in the UWC or at other convenient locations. Other consultation times may be arranged by appointment.
There is no charge for this service. Help is on a first-come-first-serve basis, so please plan ahead, especially near common grant deadlines. We strongly encourage faculty who are English language learners to utilize this service for grammatical editing of grants and proposals. Be aware that as part of the sign up process, faculty members who use this service will need to enlist the support of a faculty colleague to review the grants and/or proposals before submission deadlines.
Because the UWC Writing Fellow is available close by on campus, he can respond in a timely manner, help writers produce more in a shorter time frame, and become trained in the particular discourse practices of the academic community. We encourage you to take advantage of this unique opportunity.
Other writing and editing assistance is also available free of charge to students, staff, and faculty. See the UWC website. Available Writing Courses through the Writing Program include WRTG 6000, Writing for Publication and WRTG 7060, Scientific Writing. These courses, taught during both fall and spring semesters, can be accessed from the U of U website (Catalog & Class Schedules).
