The Department of Epidemiology & Public Health  Presents

Prof. Lisa Chasan-Taber, Sc.D
Professor of Epidemiology, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Organisers: Brenda Lynch & Prof. Patricia Kearney

This seminar will target effective grant proposal writing at a time when applying for research funding has never been more competitive. Covering all aspects of the proposal writing process, the workshop is geared for early-stage investigators including graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, but also valuable for experienced faculty, clinicians, epidemiologists, and health professionals who cannot seem to break the barrier to obtain funded research.

Dr. Lisa Chasan-Taber has taught research proposal and grant writing for over 17 years, during which time she has been continually funded as a principal investigator of National Institutes of Health Research Awards and has been recognized for her research through the Chancellor’s Medal, the highest recognition bestowed to faculty by the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She has served as a permanent member on national review panels and as a mentor on Career Development Awards. She received her post-doctoral and doctoral training in epidemiology from the Harvard School of Public Health, master’s degree in public health from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania.

The workshop will be based upon the presenter’s recently published text "Writing Dissertation and Grant Proposals: Epidemiology, Preventive Medicine and Biostatistics" available from publisher Chapman and Hall. http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781466512061
