Description
Writing a successful grant proposal is a blend of art and science. It requires basic know-how, content knowledge, writing proficiency, strong research skills, creativity, organizational ability, patience, and a great deal of luck. Grant writing is both a systematic and a chaotic process. You will need to be as organized as possible without becoming so obsessive that you lose the opportunity to incorporate new ideas and new suggestions as they emerge throughout the process. This session will provide faculty and staff with the background necessary to develop a competitive funding proposal. Topics to be covered include:
- How to read and understand funders’ requirements as outlined in requests for proposals
- Using a logic model approach to define your outcomes and strategies
- Components of a project narrative
- Institutional review of proposals using human subjects and/or animals
- Aligning the budget with the project narrative
- The grant review process
