overburdened with the "invisible labor" of service with visible research through engagement with writing experts for STEMM, social science, arts, and humanities faculty.</p><p>This exceptional opportunity provides selected faculty with individualized assistance from a professional writing coach or research development specialist who will review a draft of a chapter/article or a grant proposal in advance and provide expert feedback. The workshops include informative presentations, one-on-one coaching, and dedicated writing time in community.</p><h5>Manuscript & Grant Proposal Writing Workshops</h5><p>December 7-8, 2024<br>Saturday and Sunday<br>Latinx Research Center, UC Berkeley (in person only)</p><p>This special two-day program has two opportunities:</p><h4>MANUSCRIPT WRITERS</h4><p>Up to 8 selected applicants will join <a href="https://www.inkblotterseattle.com/">Elena K.

If you have any questions about eligibility, please write to </em><a href="mailto:twodonnell@ucdavis.edu"><em>Thomas O'Donnell</em></a><em>. </em></p><p><strong>APPLICATIONS DUE: October 25 at 5:00pm</strong>. Notifications of acceptance will go out approximately 7 days later.</p><p><strong>ABOUT FOCUS:</strong> Faculty of California United in Scholarship advances two central goals of the UC mission: producing knowledge and advancing diversity by supporting the academic career success of UC faculty from several campuses and many disciplines whose research, service, and/or teaching focus on historically marginalized groups. FOCUS offers two-day research grant development and publication workshops, two per year over the course of three years. Providing expert research support to complete publications and submit grants is a proven way to help faculty flourish at an R1 university. In addition, this targeted intervention creates the opportunity for invited faculty to develop professional relationships around a shared commitment to producing “R1 scholarship” and advancing the UC’s diversity, equity, and inclusion goals. The research and publication success and satisfaction of such dedicated faculty must become a central concern of the university for retention reasons and to build a reliable pipeline for all professors to reach full.</p><layout-columns columns="2"><div slot="column1"><h5>ABOUT ELENA ABBOTT:</h5><div class="align-left media media--type-sf-image-media-type media--view-mode-sf-small"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/g/files/dgvnsk731/files/styles/sf_small_width/public/media/images/Abbott-Elena.png?itok=C4LuvPhA" width="200" height="200" alt="Elena Abbott" class="image-style-sf-small-width"> </div> <p>Elena Abbott is a writing consultant and developmental editor who specializes in helping authors bring their ideas to life in a way that will resonate with readers and create impact.
