In collaboration with the OU Center for Faculty Excellence, the Arts & Humanities Forum presents the following calendar of events and resources in grant-writing information and development for the 2023-2024 academic year. Events are open to OU Faculty and Graduate Students, and pre-registration below.
Thursday, January 11, 10 to 11:30am, via Zoom
Come develop your strategy for productive research! An interactive 90-minute workshop aimed at arts/humanities faculty who are starting a new book (or other multi-year) project, or who are in their first year at OU. The workshop will help participants identify the different moving pieces that are part and parcel of the project, integrating long-term and short-term strategic planning, grant development (internal and external), book writing, publication, and public-facing products. Participants will leave with a concrete timeline for the various components of their own projects.

Book Proposal to Fellowship Proposal
10/13/2023, 10:00am - 11:15am
A workshop on how to transform a book proposal into a fellowship proposal.
Are you working on a book project? Do you have a partial draft of a book proposal floating around in your files? Why not turn it into a fellowship or grant proposal? This will help you update your book proposal, which will result in a better document to eventually send an editor—and it has the potential of getting you some dedicated leave time to write the book! Come learn how to adapt your book proposal to a range of possible fellowship applications. Contact Julie-Françoise Tolliver (julietolliver@ou.edu) with questions.
