National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS, www.niss.org) Academic Affiliates Committee is holding a virtual meet-up on Thursday, November 4, 2021, 12:30 - 2 pm ET on "How to Write a Successful Grant Proposal".
In this event, four accomplished senior statisticians who have extensive experience in both writing and reviewing grant proposals will share their experiences and address questions such as "
Which organizations offer funding for statistical research? How can you increase your chances of getting funded? What are the elements that are commonly found in successful grant applications? If you asked reviewers for their advice, what would they point out as being essential?".
The speakers for this session are Huixia (Judy) Wang who is the National Science Foundation DMS Statistics Program Director and at George Washington University, Steven Kern from the Gates Foundation, Joshua M. Tebbs Professor and Department Chair at the University of South Carolina, who has served at the BMRD study section of National Institutes for Health (NIH) and received several external grants, and Ali Shojaie from the University of Washington who has been successful in securing multiple sole-PI and collaborative grants, and has served on a number of proposal review panels for NSF and NIH.
The meet-up is free to all and will use Zoom. Registration is required. Please go to https://www.niss.org/events/how-write-successful-grant-proposal to get more information and register for this event.
