<b>Thursday, December 11, 2025; 1pm - 2:30pm</b><br>
This panel event, the first part of the Grant Writing Training Certificate (GWTC) program, offers a unique opportunity to learn directly from MIT faculty with expertise in grant writing and the grant application process. Panelists will discuss and share their
experiences with finding, writing, and reviewing federal grants (NIH, NSF, DOE, and more). This panel event is required for Grant Writing Training Certificate participants. Although this event is designed for the GWTC, this event is open to all MIT graduate
students and postdocs. Intro to Grant Writing Faculty Panel is-sponsored by CAPD and the Office of the Vice President for Research. Please arrive 15 minutes early for check-in.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
