Grantwriting

Ever wonder why graduate school doesn’t come with an instruction manual? Now you’ve got it: Grad Hack, giving you quick and dirty tips for your graduate career and beyond.

Grantwriting can be both super important and quite daunting.  So this issue we asked Kate Sweeny, Associate Professor of Psychology and Graduate Grants Coordinator at UC Riverside, to give us some tips on how to go about getting grant funded.  Click here to see what she said!

 

​Interview with Psychologists

Who has had a Major Impact on Your Work?

Each year, we ask psychology professors a series of questions that we think might provide useful information to current students.
