This webinar will focus on the characteristics of an acceptable research proposal for submission to faculty for academic purposes and to donors, and for funding purposes. The speaker will look at the differences between the two and why they are important, as one bifurcates, bridges, or transitions from academic research proposals to funded research proposals. The webinar will also focus on academic writing and drill down to specific characteristics that are shared within the academic writing environment.

Join Dr Gift Dafuleya from the University of Venda who will be presenting this interactive webinar on Tuesday, 22 February 2022 at 12:00.
