Dear Postdoctoral Fellows,
Edge for Scholars is now accepting registrations for the Edge Grant Workshop – Fellowship Series for December 2025 submissions.
We invite early career researchers (pre- and postdoc) preparing an individual fellowship award (NRSA F series or equivalent) submission to join us for in-person workshops designed to help you prepare the best possible grant. The goal of the workshop is to introduce the participant to grant terminology and help the grant writer develop a plan to make steady progress to completion of their application.
Sample Topics Include:
- Reading a FOA
- Understanding the Required Components
- Demystifying the Grant Process
- Vanderbilt's Submission Process
- Making a Customized Grant Preparation Timeline
- Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
- Using Task Lists to Ensure Continuous Momentum
This cycle is for those submitting in December 2025. We will host a one-day workshop in-person on Monday, August 11 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at 2525 West End Avenue, Room 1040 (building where VU Bookstore is housed).
