May 18, 2026

 

 

Nanocourses are short, intensive courses that explore emerging topics, research techniques, and professional skills in a brief, multi-session format.

Graduate students can combine 3 Nanocourses for half-term QC course credit (2 credits).

## **Writing Research Proposals for Grants and Fellowships (Parts 1 & 2)**

This two-part Nanocourse guides students from developing strong, compelling scientific questions (Part 1) to transforming those ideas into a clear, persuasive Specific Aims page for a grant or fellowship proposal (Part 2). Through interactive discussions and peer feedback, participants build practical skills in proposal development and scientific communication. Students may register for Part 1, Part 2, or both.

 **Part 1 Course dates (3 sessions):** June 1st, June 8th, June 15th

 **Time:** All classes meet from 10:30AM – 12:30PM
