Summer Grants Workshop

The Eberly College Research Office holds an annual intensive grants workshop during the summer. During these workshops, faculty get the chance to work on their own anticipated grant applications and receive feedback on in-progress proposals in a mock panel review process. All Eberly faculty are welcome to apply for participation, but these workshops are particularly beneficial for faculty who have little experience submitting proposals, have had limited success, or are applying in a new area.

Workshop participants and review panelists discuss draft proposals in Woodburn Hall.

2025 Summer Grants Workshop
Week of May 12, 2025
The workshop participants included Brian Dolinar (Chemistry), Oreoluwa Runsewe (Institute for Policy Research and Public Affairs), Ignacio Segovia-Dominguez (Mathematical and Data Sciences), and Youngseok Song (Mathematical and Data Sciences). Special thanks to the time and expertise of the review panel, which included Craig Barrett (Biology), Vito D'Orazio (Political Science), Erik Herron (Political Science), and Rita Rio (Biology; Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies).
