9 Writing a proposal

10 Know Your Audience Assume that at least two of the three readers scoring your proposal have limited knowledge of your field Avoid field-specific and technical jargon Answer all of the scoresheet requirements: Background Benefits Composition Budget Review and revise Narrative flow Grammar (when in doubt, check Purdue Owl at or schedule a free appointment with a volunteer editor at the GRC )

11 Know Your Audience, cont. Per the GPSA Bylaws, all grant submissions are scored by three other graduate students: One from within your perspective One from outside of your perspective A third determined at random There are seven unique academic perspectives, and each reader will self-identify with the one that most closely corresponds with their academic program of study If you have applied for a GPSA Grant in the past, or previously created an account in the GPSA Grants site, you MUST UPDATE YOUR PERSPECTIVES

12 Perspectives Fine Arts & Design (FAD): Applies to any creative arts whose products are to be appreciated primarily or solely for their artistic, aesthetic or intellectual content. Examples: Studio Art, Music, Theatre, Dance, Film, Creative Production Humanities (HUM): Applies to academic disciplines that study aspects of human society and culture, or process and document the human experience. Examples: Ancient and Modern Languages, Literature, Philosophy, Geography, History, Religion Social Sciences (SOS): Applies to disciplines dealing with the institutions and functioning of human society, or with a particular phase or aspect of human society. Examples: Economics, Business, Management, Public Administration, Public Policy, Law, Political Science Behavioral Sciences (BES): Applies to disciplines dealing primarily with human action, and often seeks to generalize about human behavior in society. Examples: Psychology, Sociology, Education, Anthropology, Women Studies, Communication. Natural Sciences (NAS): Applies to sciences that deal with matter, energy, or the physical world, and their interrelations and transformations or with objectively measurable phenomena. Examples: Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, Astronomy, Physics. Formal Sciences (FOS): Applies to disciplines concerned with theoretical formal systems, and the theoretical branches of computer science. Examples: Computer Science, Math, Geometry, Statistics, Logic, Information Theory, Systems Theory, Linguistics. Applied Sciences (APS): Applies to disciplines that apply scientific knowledge to practical problems. Examples: Medicine and Health Sciences, Engineering.

13 Narrative suggestions Paint a clear picture of who you are and why you are seeking funding. Give specific, vivid details on why you are attending a conference. State why attending this conference is important

14 Example: Poor: I will be able to network with super interesting professionals in my field at the conference.

15 Example: Better: I will be networking with Dr. Cornel West from Princeton whose research on the U.S. Mexico Border intersects with my dissertation chapter on reforms to U.S. federal immigration policy.

16 Benefits Describe benefits clearly and explicitly Be as specific as possible - poor applications suffer from being too vague How does the activity benefit: You Your academic field The reputation and academic community of UNM?

17 Example: Poor: Presenting this research will allow me to share my highly specialized knowledge with a broader community of likeminded people.

18 Example: Better: My research corresponds directly with the goals of several international research societies and expands on the information surrounding freshwater ecosystems. Presenting my work that was conducted in New Mexico on an international stage will affirm UNM s position at the forefront of freshwater research programs.

19 Budget Include the entire budget for the project and Remember to include other funding sources You will not be evaluated on the amount requested, but you should make sure your budget is cost-effective Demonstrate that you have researched your budget (cite web links, name special deals, etc). When possible, list specific dates, hotels, airlines, etc.

20 Example

21 Successful Applicants: Write for a general academic audience Avoid jargon and define all terms Make sure proposal is free of grammatical and spelling errors Find someone to proofread. (Seriously!)
