UPCOMING COURSE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE PHYSICAL AND LIFE SCIENCES School of Graduate Studies / ELWS course offerings (non-credit) Writing NSERC Proposals The pursuit of research grants is an key (and often required) part of a graduate student's career, and the NSERC programme is one of the most important sources for graduate funding. This free three-week course is designed for graduate students in Divisions 3 and 4 (Physical and Life Sciences) who are planning to apply for an NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada) Postgraduate scholarship this fall. Each of the three two-hour sessions in this course will examine the specific features of good and bad research proposals and will offer strategies to maximize your chances of success. Students should come prepared to work on their own proposals and to submit drafts for feedback. Valuable feedback will be given to course participants through written comments on their draft proposals and through individual consultations. Please note that only students who are eligible to apply for NSERC Scholarships (i.e. Canadian citizens and permanent residents) are eligible to take this course. This free three-week non-credit course runs from May 13 to May 27 on Thursdays from 5:00 to 7:00 pm; Course registration procedures can be found on the ELWS website at http://www.sgs.utoronto.ca/informationfor/students/english/courses/registration.htm#regist Please note that enrolment is limited to maintain desirable student-lecturer ratios.
