Event overview
The Research Office is pleased to announce a presentation by Professor Andrea R. Halpern entitled ' The Rhetoric of the Grant Proposal'. All research engaged staff and students are welcome to attend.
Writing grant proposals involves not only having a great idea but also packaging the idea so as to have the maximum impact and persuasion. In this talk, Andrea will discuss the proposal as a piece of writing. Like all writing, one needs to consider the type of audience, your purpose in writing, and the audience’s purpose in reading.
Andrea will present three important rhetorical goals of exposition, persuasion, and credentialing that she thinks can characterize proposals from nearly any discipline. She'll present a generic outline of a proposal and consider how each major section of a proposal matches up with the rhetorical goals.
Andrea will also discuss a few tools that are useful in maximising the success of your proposal writing. Time will be left for Q&A and discussion.
