The Basic Grant Writing course will allow participants to work on their basic grant applications skills. This training is supplemented by homework and one-on-one correspondence with the instructor, who will help students work on standard text that every company must have to apply for grants.
The class will introduce the logic model, which can be used when planning a grant project, and focus on how to cultivate a granting agency prior to submitting an application. Students will learn how to ensure a request aligns with the funder's guidelines; how to fully research proposal content; and how to develop realistic goals, objectives, and outcomes. Time will be spent discussing and developing competitive budgets; reviewing unfunded applications; and evaluating and improving writing skills.
