BIOC 124 Critical Thinking and Scientific Writing

This course is designed to guide Molecular and Cellular Biology graduate students in their second year through writing a predoctoral fellowship application using a combination of lectures, writing assignments and proposal evaluations (self, peer and faculty). The course will introduce students to the foundations of scientific grant writing, to practical issues related to grant writing and to general instruction with regard to writing style. Concepts of scientific rigor and reproducibility in proposal writing will be incorporated. Students will receive stepwise guidance through drafting a proposal, review and revision processes and aspects of peer-review that culminates in a mock study-section experience.

This course requires permission by the instructor and is not open to undergraduate students.
