Are you planning to submit a proposal to one of the many Fellowship opportunities with a deadline this Fall? Would you like to reuse, repurpose and recycle that proposal at a later date or for another opportunity? Join RIO Proposal Writer Donna Axel at this brief 30-minute introduction to RIO’s Fall Fellowship Writing & Peer Editing Program to see if this virtual program is right for you. From July through September, participants will draft proposals and participate in one peer editing workshop (August-September, TBD) to hone the narrative portion of Fellowship applications (including, e.g., AAUW [American Association of University Women] due Nov. 1; ACLS [American Council of Learned Societies] due TBA, typically late Sept.; NHC [National Humanities Center] due Oct. 5; SHC [Stanford Humanities Center] due Oct. 1; Guggenheim due Sept. 16; or others—just let us know!
We ask faculty to commit to the following:
- Attend the launch and ONE of these “Categories & Requirements” sessions: During this 1-hour virtual session, Donna Axel will go over the Categories & Requirements for specific fellowship opportunities.
- Wednesday, July 26th: 10 - 11 a.m. (Please register using your CU Boulder IdentiKey Login email.)
- Wednesday, July 26th: 4 - 5 p.m. (Please register using your CU Boulder IdentiKey Login email.)
- Meet 1-on-1 with Donna and/or send her your draft one-two weeks prior to submitting your draft for the peer-review workshop. If you have already met with Donna regarding your specific proposal, you may skip this step.
- Prepare a draft narrative for review by committed colleagues one week in advance of your peer review workshop. Sessions TBD by your/your colleagues’ availability.
- Peer review 3-5 of your colleagues’ proposals in advance of the Peer Editing Workshop.
- Participate in at least one peer review workshop (Aug.-Sept., TBD by faculty). If you seek peer review for more than one fellowship opportunity, you may participate in two groups.
- Optional: As part of participating in this program, and on a first-come-first-served basis, Donna Axel offers to review your draft after you have incorporated any suggestions from the peer-review process.
