The Division of Research and Innovation is partnered with the distinguished AtKisson Training Group LLC, which is focused on proposal preparation and review processes that lead to increased external funding submission success. This research development faculty training is designed to convey the fundamentals of proposal writing, concrete tips, and operational strategies. The session combines a lecture format with engagement activities to fit the range of potential funding targets identified by UNT. The targeted learning outcomes include: 
 

• Understanding the preparation steps before beginning the writing process; 
• Learning techniques for creating a strong argument for the proposed project; 
• Developing techniques for communicating the approach clearly; and 
• Understanding how these techniques connect to the process by which a grant proposal is reviewed. 

Guest Speaker:

M.S. (Peg) AtKisson, PhD, trained in neuroscience, but in 2001 made her science grant proposals and research development. She started the research development group at Tufts University, working on large, multi-investigator proposals. After eight years with Grant Writers' Seminars and Workshops, she left in 2017 to found ATG to create new approaches to grantsmanship training and developing integrated and holistic support for facutly research and leadership development. She still considers herself a neuroscientist first, and she still writes grant proposals.
