RQS Workshop

Presented by Yi Hao, PhD (Program Director for Career and Professional Development) and Daniel Serrano, PhD (Research Educator, Institute for Research in Electronics and Applied Physics).

In interviews or networking conversations, you are often asked these questions: “So, tell me about yourself” or “Tell me about a time when you…” Most of us feel a sense of dread toward these prompts but know how important they are to our careers. After all, people can only get to know us through the stories we are willing to share. 

Applying for an RQS seed grant? This workshop will share some tips and best practices for grant writing, with insight from the UMD research and development office's Amanda Dykema and former RQS seed grant recipient Alaina Green (JQI). Bring your idea or draft for a proposal; after the presentation, there will be time to work on your proposal and get feedback. 

The RQS Annual Workshop will also feature a seed grant session where you can continue to refine your proposal. 

How to write successful grant proposals, pushing your writing skills to the next level. Erin will provide a general overview of grant writing and focus on proposals for education and outreach, a key mandate of the NSF grant for the Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation.
