The Research and Innovation Office (RIO) is excited to announce the launch of the听third annual Fellowship Writing & Peer Editing Program,听facilitated by RIO Proposal Writer/Editor Donna Axel.听Faculty are encouraged to attend a听听辞苍 Wednesday, July 13 to determine if the program is right for them.听
Program overview
The virtual program is designed to assist faculty in submitting a proposal to one of the many fellowships with a fall deadline鈥攊ncluding the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), National Humanities Center (NHC), Stanford (SHC), Fulbright and more. In the process,听participants will also learn how to听reuse, repurpose and recycle proposals at a later date or for other opportunities.听
From July through September, program participants will draft proposals and participate in a peer editing workshop听to hone the narrative portion of fellowship applications typically due in September and November.
"Participating in the fellowship peer editing process last year was immensely helpful," says Fulbright U.S. Scholar fellowship awardee Rachel Rinaldo, an associate professor in the Department of Sociology, as well as the director of CU Boulder's Center for Asian Studies. "It meant that I had another faculty member who would carefully read my drafts and suggest improvements. Reading and reviewing my peers'听work also helped me to reflect on and refine my own arguments. Donna is听an incredible resource for faculty. Working with her, I鈥檝e learned a great deal about how to present my research proposals in ways that are compelling beyond my discipline and how to tailor my ideas for specific grants and fellowships."
