This course provides graduate students with the skills to develop research proposals that meet either their thesis or project practicum requirements and can attract organizational funding support. Students will explore the general aspects of scientific writing, learn about the review process, and discuss examples of successful and unsuccessful grant proposals. They will then identify a research problem, review existing literature, and develop a draft proposal that will be reviewed and critiqued by their peers.
