Summer Proposal Writing Workshops

Summer 2026 Proposal-Writing Opportunities

UT Austin-based and External Faculty Affiliates of the Population Research Center (PRC) or the Center on Aging and Population Sciences (CAPS) are invited to participate in a joint proposal-writing workshops to be held this coming summer. This joint workshop is designed to teach the craft of grant preparation, including conceptualizing the project, forming a research team, writing the scientific components, managing the forms, budgeting, and understanding the review process. After participating in the workshop, participants are expected to have a draft proposal. Applicants must commit to submitting their proposals to NIH through either PRC or CAPS in fall 2026 or early spring 2027. 

The workshops will involve 4 or 5 group meetings but will also require intensive proposal writing between meetings. Participants must commit to dedicating significant time this summer to the workshops and preparing their proposals. They must also commit to submitting their final proposals to a funding agency through the PRC or CAPS.
