Effective Grant Proposal Writing guides you through every phase of creating a successful grant, from preparation through post-submittal follow up. Writing a winning grant proposal is both a skill and a craft that can be mastered through training and practice. Make your proposal stand out from your competitors by learning how to plan and design a document that not only provides practical information, but grabs the reader and holds their attention to the end. Start by discovering how to apply key funding research tools in a practical manner and recognize factors contributing to successful funding efforts in areas including social, religion, arts and sciences, international and education. Then, take advantage of a unique opportunity to create your own grant proposal that can potentially be funded at the end of the course. You’ll also review peer proposals as you consider how grant narrative elements can influence funders’ decisions.
