Reading a Request for Proposals (RFP) and Mapping a Sustainable Process: A Workshop for Social Sciences and Humanities Graduate Students

How can you read a Request for Proposals (RFP) and identify whether it’s a good fit for your project? This workshop will help you strategically read RFPs to find the best funding opportunities, then map your drafting process for the application. We’ll discuss creating a manageable timeline and a sustainable and flexible writing process. You should bring at least one funding opportunity to this workshop to make the most of our time together.

You can learn how to search for funding opportunities through the Finding Funding workshops series hosted by the Duke Office of Research Initiatives. If you can’t attend a workshop, you can use the Duke Research Funding tool to conduct an advanced search; check “Grad/Prof Students” under Eligibility and the appropriate discipline(s) for your research.
