>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.
>
>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.
>
>Grants 101 consists of three (3) courses that will be completed during the 
>three-day workshop.
>FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAM PLANNING
>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.
>
>PROFESSIONAL GRANT WRITING
>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.
>
>GRANT RESEARCH
>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.
