This course is designed to teach graduate students in the Biomedical Engineering program principles of technical communication to solicit project support via NIH F31 Fellowship Application. Communication skills are foundational skillsets that will support biomedical researchers' technical goals and required regular practice to hone and enact throughout scientific careers. Students will work in a course setting, small peer review groups, and one-on-one with the instructor to complete their fellowship proposal. Students will also learn the standard components of advanced writing and revising tasks, including abstracts, literature reviews, reader reaction critiques, and a rhetorical approach to revision that support engineering work.
