Developing Culturally Relevant Research Proposals

Interested in graduate school? Becoming a professor? Directing at a nonprofit? Being successful in these tasks not only requires you to participate in new areas of research, but also to be able to fund this research through proposal writing. In this hands on session, we will cover what goes into making a successful grant proposal in a manner where we achieve our own goals and the needs of the funding source. This is particularly useful for upper division undergraduates or first year graduate students applying to fellowships, as well as early career faculty applying to grants. We will also discuss how to implement cultural relavance in an arena where many reviewers may not be familiar with tribal traditions or soveriegnity.
