This in-person workshop is designed for graduate students applying for the Canada Graduate Scholarship – Doctoral (CGS-D). Drawing on evidence-based research about successful grant proposals, the facilitator reviews the contextual, stylistic, and structural elements of this particular type of academic writing in English. The workshop includes examples of successful UBC CGS-D research proposals (CIHR, NSERC, and SSHRC) as well as dedicated time to write in community.

Highlights of this in-person event include light refreshments (coffee, tea, snacks) and 30-minute written feedback writing consultations with a doctoral peer from the Centre for Writing and Scholarly Communication. Registrants will receive a link to book their writing consultation on Thursday, August 29 at 4pm. Appointments will take place one day after the workshop on September 5. Bookings will be on a first come first served basis, available exclusively to workshop attendees.
