WRITING RETREAT

We are not currently accepting applications for CAHSSA Mentored Writing Groups. Future opportunities will be advertised through the CAHSSA Mailing list.

Purpose

The CAHSSA Mentored Writing Group Program is a 6-month cohort-based activity that leads individual researchers through the process of conceptualizing, writing, and submitting a grant proposal for submission to federal or private research funders. Each cohort is facilitated by an experienced faculty member or research development professional with a record of submitting and winning social science research grants.

Writing groups meet virtually over 6 months. Cohorts receive guidance on communicating with agency program directors, strategically writing competitive proposals, composing a budget and budget justification, and receive peer review feedback from the mentor and other writers in the group.
