The Art of Successful Grantsmanship:
What You Need to Know Before You Write
.
The development of successful grant proposals has become more difficult in recent years due to increased competition for ever tightening funding lines. It is no longer sufficient to just have a good or even great idea. The presentation of the idea is critical for its survival through very critical review processes that often vary between agencies and organizations.
This introductory workshop serves to train individuals from all disciplines in strategies for producing successful grants. Instruction will include:
- Strategies for professional engagement with the funding communities.
- Navigating appropriate funding support mechanisms (federal, state, local, professional societies, private foundations).
- Strategic planning for personal, professional, and institutional development and related funding.
- Understanding the proposal review systems for government and private agencies, and how they inform proposal development and structure.
- Developing appropriate and measurable objectives (professional, institutional etc.).
- Strategies (pre and post submission) that maximize the chances of success in funding.
- Prior grant-writing experience is not required but the outline of an idea for funding in the form of a short abstract is advised to enhance active participation and to gain maximal benefit.
