Advanced Hands-On Grant Writing

Course Description:
The basis for successful grant writing is a carefully designed program.  In this intensive workshop, we will examine the relationship between the organizational mission statement, needs assessments, goals, objectives, work plans and evaluations.  We will also discuss writing techniques to help make your grant writing process smarter and faster.
 

The instructor will share valuable content information; then as you work on your own grant writing project, he will provide consultation and support to help you refine your proposal.  In addition, you will experience the proposal review process from both sides of the table - reviewer and reviewed - further enhancing your insight into successful grant writing. 

This workshop will cover:  common organizational problems, needs assessment, goals and objectives, evaluation, grant abstracts, proofreading techniques, and information on local grant seeking/writing resources.

Participants should have taken an introductory grant writing course or have some previous grant writing experience.  Please bring a laptop with you for your writing process.  If you do not have a laptop, one will be provided.
