BES Early Career Network presents: Grant Writing for Early Career Scientists
April 12, 2022
2:00-3:00 pm EDT (11:00 am-12:00 pm PDT)
The grant writing and review process can feel daunting and difficult to navigate for young investigators. Learn tips and best practices from experts on how to successfully craft a scientific proposal for federal grants, industry partnerships, and non-profit support. After short presentations from each panelist, there will be a live question and answer session with the audience. This Zoom webinar is free and open to the public.
The DOE Basic Energy Sciences - Early Career Network (BES ECN) is a group of graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and early career scientists in BES Centers. The goal is to share best practices between centers, provide workforce development opportunities, and create a network of early career scientists with a passion for energy science.
