This summer, the Research Development team is once again hosting weekly Proposal Development Meetups to help the campus community with their proposals. Meetups will be on Wednesdays from 11:00-12:00, starting June 3, through July 15. While this timing aligns well with those working on NSF CAREER submissions, all are welcome to join, regardless of which funding opportunity you are pursuing.

The meetups are intended to be flexible, but will generally follow this format:

• Check-in (5-10 min): Share what you will focus on in the sprint.
• Focus (45 min): Find your state of flow. A facilitator will run a timer so you can ignore the clock
• Check-out (5-10 min): Share your wins, stretch, move, and discuss.

We’ll use the library as a central hub for in-person meetups and a zoom option has been provided to allow remote participation. The library meeting location will vary a bit from week-to-week, rotating between the cafe area, conference 103, and the outdoor plaza area when the weather allows.

Bring writing with you. Bring your questions. Bring ideas to refine. Just come - we look forward to seeing you!
