Title: Securing funds for your graduate education, research, postdoc, and more

Abstract: Learning how to write research proposals, fellowship applications that get funded is one of the most important things we should learn before securing independent research positions. In this presentation, I will share tips on how to prepare a winning application, how to make sure you get strong letters of recommendation submitted to support your application, and more.
