Course Description:
The basis for successful grant writing is knowing where to find grant money and writing an effective proposal. In this workshop, we will examine different types of funders, resources available to you to find these funders and specific grant opportunities. We will then talk about the different sections of the grant proposal and how to write each section. This is an introductory grant writing course. It is open to those individuals who have little or no grant writing experience or those individuals who are looking to make their grant writing more successful. Materials in this workshop are geared to individuals with limited or no grant writing experience.
