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 2024-2025 academic year. Events are open to OU Faculty and Graduate Students, and pre-registration below.
Book Proposal to Fellowship Proposal
August 14th, 2024, 10 am – 11:15 am CT
One-sentence summary of the event: This is a workshop on how to transform a book proposal into a fellowship proposal.
Description: 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.
