Proposal Writing Webinar Series

Join RIO Proposal Writer Jim Mazzouccolo for this webinar series covering the fundamentals of Proposal Writing.  The webinars are designed to help you to understand your audience, identify and satisfy review sponsor requirements, and develop a compelling narrative. Whether you choose to attend one webinar to sharpen specific skills or the whole series, you won’t want to miss this opportunity to improve your proposal writing.

Incorporating funder language and directly addressing stated review criteria increase proposal competitiveness. This session will address where this language can be found, as well as providing methods for addressing review criteria.
