    Grant applications include various sections, one of the most important being the project narrative. This is your chance to describe your research idea to the funding agency, how it will be carried out, why your project is important, and the feasibility of such a project. In this session, we will discuss how to develop a strong project narrative and how to communicate your research clearly. This session will also be very beneficial for students who are applying for a SEEDS grant.  Presenter: Kayla Arnold, Office for Research and Gradate Education
