Research and scholarly resources
National Science Foundation - Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) Workshop
The NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) is to help ensure the vitality and diversity of the scientific and engineering workforce of the United States. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students who are pursuing research-based master's and doctoral degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) and in STEM education. The GRFP provides three years of support for the graduate education of individuals who have demonstrated their potential for significant research achievements in STEM and STEM education.
This training program will introduce the NSF GRFP, and other Graduate Fellowship Programs. Participants will leave with a clear understanding of strategies for preparing competitive proposals for graduate awards, as well as a draft of a GRFP proposal and appropriate information for Letters of Recommendation writers. For more information: GRFP Program Information. Participants must commit to attending all three sessions, which will be held in-person.

Research Symposium Prep
The San Diego State University Pre-Symposium Workshop is designed to help students prepare for the upcoming symposiums by enhancing their presentation skills. During the workshop, expert panelists will share valuable tips and strategies to ensure your presentation stands out, from refining your delivery to effectively showcasing your research. This is a great opportunity to gain insights and build confidence for a successful symposium experience!
Writing a Successful Grant Proposal
This webinar will cover the essential elements of writing a successful grant proposal, including how to structure the application and how to highlight the value of your project. It will also include some specific tips on applying for common grants for graduate students (NEH, NSF, etc.)
Developing Research Questions Workshop
Even if you have clear research interests, developing a compelling, answerable research question can be challenging. Strong research questions both explain why it is important that they be answered, and set the stage for an organized research project/paper that answers them. This workshop will cover several brainstorming techniques for formulating research questions and will also introduce analytical tools for evaluating and refining research questions based on potential sources of evidence, existing scholarly conversations, and intended audiences.
