Research and Sponsored Programs
The University of Cincinnati is hosting two online seminars that are available to all Wright State University faculty:
- Techniques to Make Your Proposal Competitive
September 12, from 11 a.m.–noon
Registration
This workshop will present the competitive intelligence framework and demonstrate how faculty can use this framework to improve their proposals. This workshop will explore types of analyses regularly performed in academia: external profiles, capacity analysis, landscape analysis, program analysis, and sponsor analysis.
- Proposal Budgets: More Than a Bunch of Numbers
September 28, from 2–3 p.m.
Registration
Preparing and managing a grant proposal budget can be challenging. This presentation will highlight key information on the basics of budgeting, the available tools, and, most importantly, where to turn for assistance.
Curriculog Training
The Provost’s Office is hosting training sessions on the Curriculog system at 9:00 a.m. on September 13 and 14. Register online today.
Each one-hour virtual training will focus on submitting the appropriate course or program proposal form in the Curriculog system and reviewing submissions. If you are unable to attend, the training session will be recorded.
When a Student Needs Support
Wright.edu/help is a great resource for helping students or making referrals. This site contains contact information for emergency or essential departments that can assist your students all in one location.
I hope you all have a wonderful first week! You are appreciated!
Amy Thompson, Ph.D.
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
