Where do you even start looking for funding? How do you organize your ideas before writing? What makes a SMART goal actually smart and how do you craft a proposal that is innovative? How to define roles within your team, avoid budgeting mistakes, and plan for what happens when things don’t go as expected?
 
The Drexel Postdoctoral Association (DPA) presents Crafting Competitive Grants: Practical Strategies for Planning and Writing, part of National Postdoctoral Appreciation Week 2025! 
 
Whether you’re drafting your first grant or refining your next one, this panel offers actionable insights and candid advice from experienced grant writers.
