Training Workshops and Webinars

Global Proposal Solutions provides a wide range of Training Workshops and Webinars,  readily customized to suit our clients. We offer these workshops either by Webinar or in-person, in the following formats:

  • Hal, Full Day or Multi-Day Workshops: Workshops can be customized to suit the client, but generally involve multiple concurrent, interactive sessions that can broadly address the faculty experience in successful research, or can take a ‘deep dive’ into the nuances of successful grant proposal/manuscript writing.
  • Mini-Workshops (1.5-2 hour): Given how difficult it is to ask faculty and staff to carve out an entire day to sit through presentations that may (or may not) provide new information to an audience with varying levels of experience, GPS’ strategy for mini-workshops  – unique to the industry – is to provide 1.5-2 hour group workshops or webinars that cover the essence of the topic, followed up by one-on-one consultations that focus on the specific needs of each proposal writer.
