September 2, 2026
2:00 – 3:30 pm ET * Webinar
3:35 – 4:30 pm ET * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!
Resubmitting a declined research proposal is not merely an act of persistence it is a strategic and creative process that can significantly enhance the likelihood of future funding success. This presentation explores the nuanced art of proposal resubmission, offering insights into how researchers and research administrators can transform reviewer feedback into actionable revisions. Drawing from real-world examples and best practices, it highlights the importance of understanding funder expectations, refining research narratives, and leveraging institutional support.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will gain practical tools for navigating the emotional and professional challenges of rejection, and learn how to reframe setbacks as opportunities for growth, collaboration, and innovation. Ultimately, the session aims to empower participants to approach resubmission not as a second chance, but as a smarter, stronger iteration of their research vision.
Format of webinar: 90-minute presentation, followed by 55 minutes of discussion.
Prerequisites
Participants will want to have proposal submission experience.

- It's better for organizations with low bandwidth to only have the webinar running on 1 computer in a conference room than having 10 individual people running the session on 10 computers at their desks.
