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. > > (2) 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. > > (3) 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. > > Registration > $597.00 tuition includes all materials and certificates. > > Each student will receive: > *The Grant Institute Certificate in Professional Grant Writing > *The Grant Institute's Guide to Successful Grant Writing > *The Grant Institute Grant Writer's Workbook with sample proposals, > forms, and outlines > > Registration Methods > > 1) On-Line - Complete the online registration form at > www.thegrantinstitute.com under Register Now.
