Was one started? I can't find it. I assumed this just happened every year!

Was one started? I can't find it. I assumed this just happened every year! 

 

I saw one here here:

 

Though no one's really posted in it (I'm totally guilty cuz I just clicked "follow" and then didn't contribute!)

 

We should revive it!

I posted in it to revive it! I think one of the reasons that it didn't catch was because there is no date in the title

A Student Guide to Writing SSHRC Proposals

 

Editor: Caitlin Forsey, Sociology, University of British Columbia

Editorial Assistant: Lauren Menzie

 

The purpose of this project is to produce a guide that offers advice on how to write a successful SSHRC proposal. The content will include: 1) a review of the literature on successful grant writing techniques 2) a description of “best practices” used by prior applicants; 3) a wide selection of unedited proposals to be used as templates for future applicants; and 4) a list of common issues and mistakes from the perspective of those who evaluate SSHRC proposals. The project aims to support students in applying for graduate funding and to offer SSHRC award holders with an opportunity to publish their proposal at an important time in their career.
