Sponsored by KE Research Development.

Join this series of free, informal workshops that span the continuum of proposal development activities at ASU. Workshops are appropriate for early career faculty, postdoctoral fellows, research scientists, and senior graduate students who have not yet submitted a proposal to a federal agency and those who are looking to improve their existing techniques and knowledge.

Workshops will be held Tuesdays 3:30pm – 4:30pm. All workshops are recorded and posted within a week.

Office hours for some workshops will occur 10 days after the workshop on Fridays from 2:30pm – 4:00pm. 

PDW #4 - DISTILL YOUR PROPOSAL MESSAGE

Learn how a quad chart can help you have a more strategic conversation with your program officer.

Talking to a Program Officer or other possible funder? Need to pitch your research idea or pivot your research to a new agency? This session will focus on these three topics to help you prepare a concise and effective message for your research idea:

  1. Why should you have a distilled version of your message 
  2. What are effective ways to create the message and present the message
  3. When and with whom would you use the message

Participants will be provided a demonstration of two proven tools for creating and presenting proposal messages: the Heilmeier Catechism and the Proposal Quad Chart. A panel will then provide tips on presenting your proposal ideas to various funding agencies with help on pivoting your ideas to match solicitation needs.
