Please also mark your calendars. On December 11 at 10 am CAS and SOM will co-host Virtual Event: Introduction to Early Career Peer-to-Peer Writing Groups RSVP. Peer-to-Peer Writing groups help  junior faculty members to help formulate and write their first grants. In P2P groups, faculty will have a space that encourages honest feedback and assessment from their peers, with the end goal of strengthening grant-writing skills/knowledge and refining their narratives for competitive proposals for public and private grants.
