In order to cultivate a community focused on teaching and learning amongst graduate students and postdocs, DCAL has established a Learning Community for Future Faculty (LCFF). The focus of this group is to share the rewards and challenges of college teaching, while digging a bit deeper into best practices and techniques for teaching. Our November meeting, rescheduled to Nov 21, will look at learning through undergraduate research. Typically, the LCFF meets monthly on the 2nd Monday of the month.

Dartmouth GrantGPS invites you to attend the following seminar:

Write Winning NIH Grant Proposals

Note: this seminar will be particularly helpful for graduate students preparing for qualifying exams. The presenter will spend some time focusing on writing an NIH Specific Aims page and research strategy. However, it will also cover all aspects of an NIH R01 application, and should be beneficial for graduate students at any stage.

Date: Thursday, December 1, 2016

Time: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (Lunch and coffee breaks provided)

Where: Filene Auditorium, Moore Hall, Dartmouth College campus, Hanover

Presenter: John Robertson, PhD (from Grant Writers’ Seminars & Workshops)

This comprehensive, all-day presentation addresses both practical and conceptual aspects of writing NIH research grant and fellowship applications. It is appropriate for faculty members, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students. Dr. Robertson will spend time focusing on writing a Specific Aims page, along with the research strategy. An emphasis is given to doing the "extra" things that can make the difference between success and failure. For more information about Grant Writers’ Seminars and Workshops, visit: http://www.grantcentral.com



All participants will receive an extensive handout, as well as a copy of “The Grant Application Writer’s Workbook” (NIH version).

Please join us for a workshop on 12/5/16 from 3-4:30 PM focused on creating STEM lesson plans for high school classrooms. Local high school science teacher Erica Wallstrom (Rutland HS) and a math teacher will lead this event, which will help graduate students and postdocs learn how to share their research through well-crafted lesson plans that specifically address next generation science standards (NGSS) and Common Core. The teachers will discuss the elements of a good lesson plan (e.g., what teachers need in their classroom) and how to choose standards that are most relevant to your research. Time will also be allotted for small group work for participants to discuss the standards relevant to their research. This event is co-sponsored by the Institute of Arctic Studies' Joint Science Education Project and the Dartmouth Center for the Advancement of Learning.
