Each workshop will be limited to five participants, and may be customized for a particular audience and/or type of grant application (public or private funding). Interaction between participants for peer editing/reviewing will be a major focus of each workshop.

By the conclusion of each workshop, the participants will have a first draft of that workshop topic for their own grant proposal.
