Grantsmanship 101
The VCR office regularly holds a Grantsmanship 101 series (previously called a Grant Writing Bootcamp) to provide a high-level overview of the proposal development process here at UNMC. Recently, this material was moved to a virtual format to be viewed at any time.
This can be found in the UNMC Research Training course in Canvas (enroll in this course here). Once you are enrolled in the course, you can find the Grantsmanship 101 content at this direct link.
