2025 Summer Grantsmanship Intensive

From June 1-August 22, 2025, CCE is rolling out its new Summer Grantsmanship Intensive. In a series of seven self-scheduled consultations, selected Iowa State graduate students will gain skills in grantsmanship, including:

  1. Surveying the funding landscape
  2. Reading a call for proposals (CFP)
  3. Analyzing funder mission, vision, and values
  4. Writing research statements
  5. Writing personal statements
  6. Revising for cohesion
  7. Preparing applications for submission

Participants will complete and submit a grant application by Fall 2025.

Enrollment has closed.

If you missed the deadline to sign up, or were not selected for this summer's cohort, don't despair. CCE and Iowa State have great resources to help you get your grant application signed, sealed, and delivered before the summer is over!
