Grants and Funding Information Service (GFIS) Winter Quarter Workshops
Looking for funding to support your Graduate School tuition or thesis? Need to find support to attend a conference or seminar? Interested in studying or doing research abroad?

GFIS offers quarterly workshops free of charge to UW graduate students and applicants to UW graduate departments covering methods of searching for funding available outside the university.

Workshop #1: Introduction to Searching covers general principles of searching for funding, print resources, campus resources and the Internet, in a lecture format.

Workshop #2: Database Searching covers the intricacies of two funding databases, COS and Grant Select, in a hands-on computer lab experience.

For a schedule of winter quarter workshops, visit the GFIS website. To register for workshops, email gfis@u.washington.edu with your name,department, and preferred workshop dates.

This quarter, more back-to-back workshops and evening sessions have been scheduled to help accommodate students schedules. It is generally most helpful to attend an Introduction to Searching Workshop and then a Database Searching Workshop, (students need not register for them both on the same day, even though they are offered back to back). Individuals are encouraged to attend any workshop that fits their individual needs.
