<font face="Times New Roman, Times">The Grant Institute’s Grants 101
Course is an intensive and detailed introduction to the process,
structure, and skill of professional proposal writing. This course is
characterized by its ability to act as a thorough overview, introduction,
and refresher at the same time. In this course, participants will learn
the entire proposal writing process and complete the course with a solid
understanding of not only the ideal proposal structure, but a holistic
understanding of the essential factors, which determine whether or not a
program gets funded. Through the completion of interactive exercises and
activities, participants will complement expert lectures by putting
proven techniques into practice. This course is designed for both the
beginner looking for a thorough introduction and the intermediate looking
for a refresher course that will strengthen their grant acquisition
skills. This class, simply put, is designed to get results by creating
professional grant proposal writers. <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Participants will become competent
program planning and proposal writing professionals after successful
completion of the Grants 101 course. In three active and informative
days, students will be exposed to the art of successful grant writing
practices, and led on a journey that ends with a masterful grant
proposal. <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Grants 101 consists of three (3)
courses that will be completed during the three-day workshop.
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAM
PLANNING</b></font> <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">This course is centered on the belief
that “it’s all about the program.” This intensive course will teach
professional program development essentials and program evaluation. While
most grant writing “workshops” treat program development and evaluation
as separate from the writing of a proposal, this class will teach
students the relationship between overall program planning and grant
writing. <br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>PROFESSIONAL GRANT
WRITING</b></font> <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">Designed for both the novice and
experienced grant writer, this course will make each student an overall
proposal writing specialist. In addition to teaching the basic components
of a grant proposal, successful approaches, and the do’s and don’ts of
grant writing, this course is infused with expert principles that will
lead to a mastery of the process. Strategy resides at the forefront of
this course’s intent to illustrate grant writing as an integrated,
multidimensional, and dynamic endeavor. Each student will learn to stop
writing the grant and to start writing the story. Ultimately, this class
will illustrate how each component of the grant proposal represents an
opportunity to use proven techniques for generating support.<br>
</font><br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times"><b>GRANT RESEARCH</b></font> <br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times">At its foundation, this course will
address the basics of foundation, corporation, and government grant
research. However, this course will teach a strategic funding research
approach that encourages students to see research not as something they
do before they write a proposal, but as an integrated part of the grant
seeking process. Students will be exposed to online and database research
tools, as well as publications and directories that contain information
about foundation, corporation, and government grant opportunities.
Focusing on funding sources and basic social science research, this
course teaches students how to use research as part of a strategic grant
acquisition effort.<br>
