The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.The Writing Core provides: 1) Three writing workshops for investigators and faculty on the COBRE grant. The workshops emphasize basic principles and methods for writing clear, effective professional and academic writing. They focus on strategies necessary for successful submissions of journal articles and grant proposals. Each one-hour workshop is followed by 2 open office hours for investigators and faculty who seek individual help with their work. 2) Individual editing services for investigators and faculty on the COBRE grant. 10 hours of manuscript editing, proofreading and individual consultation services have been offered to each investigator and faculty member. The Core has provides fast turnaround, often within 48 hours, for journal articles and grant proposals. Two graduate students with years of experience at the University of Kansas Writing Center in Lawrence join with Dr. Montello in providing the services. 3) Open and arranged office hours for consultation have been made available to the investigators and faculty members. Six hours of open office hours are scheduled weekly for investigators and faculty who wish to 'drop by' for assistance with their documents. In addition, they are encouraged to make appointments for assistance at times that suit their schedules. All office hours are held in the office of the Writing Consult Center, KUMC.
