Grant Proposal Writing,
Advanced
Do you know the best way to present information in a grant
proposal? In this course, an experienced grant writer will
show you how to research and write winning proposals that
get funded. Learn what to do--and, more importantly what
not to do--on every part of your proposal. Gain a full
understanding of the criteria funders use to determine
whether your grant proposal gets funded or rejected.
You'll become expert at ferreting out corporate,
foundation, and government grant makers, and you'll know
how to tailor your responses to information found in the
peer review criteria. You'll also discover a number of
significant finishing touches that can give your project
the edge over others. You'll know the best type of paper
to use, which buzzwords to include, which fonts work best,
and which types of graphics and formatting techniques will
make your proposal more competitive.
REQUIREMENTS:
Completion of an introductory grant-writing course or
equivalent experience. Internet access, e-mail, and the
Internet Explorer or Netscape or Firefox Web browser.
