Overview
Improve your next grant application by learning about elements of effective figure design! Whether it is a grant application, presentation or manuscript, you have limited space to explain your science. Figures that are clear, intuitive and robust to misinterpretation are essential for success in any research area (NSERC, CIHR, or SSHRC). This workshop will provide you with resources and considerations for creating great data figures, schematics (grant-at-a-glance) diagrams, Gantt charts, and other types of figures.

This workshop is for all faculty members (particularly ECRs), postdocs and graduate students interested in learning effective strategies for grant development.
