Workshop Description

What makes for a strong research proposal? This short workshop for Cambodian scholars will cover key points about applying for research grants and fellowships at CKS and elsewhere. Dr. Grant will discuss the general components of applications: project description, budget, bibliography, and how to solicit strong letters of recommendation. To help tailor the workshop to participants’ projects, participants are required to bring a 200-word abstract that introduces their proposed research project (topic, methods, why it is important, why you are a good person to do the work). At the end of the workshop, participants will have concrete plans for developing their grant and fellowship applications.

Please note: Available spots are limited. Cambodian scholars/students/researchers are given priority. Only selected participants will receive a confirmation email.
