Workshop Overview
This intensive Research Manuscript Writing Workshop introduces participants to essential concepts and tools for writing and preparing research proposals. Focusing on the PPCR research proposal, participants in this collaborative-learning workshop will gain significant new insight into the logical structures and narrative pathways of persuasive arguments that are essential to effective proposal writing. We will also illustrate the principles for writing clearly and concisely in English through constructive peer review and discussion of participants’ draft research proposals. Dates and agenda are tentative and subject to change.
Topics will include tools for writing and preparing research proposals, insight into the structures, logical arguments, and narrative pathways, tools for writing clearly and concisely in English, strategies for getting published in top journals. There will be exercises to practice these concepts.
The two-day live intensive course will host Harvard professors who will give lectures and host group discussions. Students will participate in practical exercises.
Students who enroll in the PPCR course or have previously completed a PPCR course and are interested in writing research proposals are encouraged to apply for this workshop.
This workshop will provide the fundamentals of research proposal writing and prepare the participant for a successful career in clinical research.
The workshop will be held in Boston, MA
