FELLOWSHIP PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP
On Tuesday, Aug. 22, 2023, T32, G-RISE hosted a full-day workshop to guide and inform our T32 students in the preparation of fellowship proposals. Over 50 attended the event in the Health Education Building. The overarching goal was to increase the number of research fellowship applications submitted from UToledo biomedical and medical/clinical programs. Participants learned the technicalities of grant proposals, developed their qualifying exam/fellowship proposals, and have additional resources as they apply for external funding.
As is the case for all T32, G-RISE activities, this event was free and open to all UToledo graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and the public. Thanks to the faculty, T32 students, and director Dr. Mahasin Osman who helped organize the event.
