Proposal Writing Fellowships (Mentored Writing Program)
The proposal writing fellowships are offered through RD&C and the University Writing Program. Through an application process, a limited number of faculty in teams of two (faculty proposal writer and mentor) are selected to engage in a 10-session (one hour each) writing seminar. The goal of the seminar is for each faculty writer to complete a research proposal, with the assistance of a mentor that will be suitable for submission to an external sponsor.
Applications are invited from UND faculty for research fellowships ($1,000 each) to facilitate writing proposals for external funding of their research and scholarly activities.
Application Deadline Date: TBA
Seminar Dates: Spring semester 2014-TBA
