Comments
The Strategies for Successful Grant Seeking workshop will provide participants with new tools for researching grant funding opportunities through federal government sources; state government sources; and corporate and foundation funding sources. Participants will use a Grant Project Design Template to capture their grant funding ideas, including the project title, purpose, vision, and strategic importance. Participants will be supported in their efforts to identify project goals, objectives, tasks and activities, timelines, key staff, budgets, and evaluation measures important to their project design for proposal narrative development. Sources for demographic and baseline data important for strengthening grant proposals will be identified. Participants will create an outline for their grant project design, name critical partners important to the success of their project, and identify a variety of potential funding sources strategically aligned with the project goals to increase grant seeking success. Sources for budget development will be explored and a sample project budget created. Means for evaluating project outcomes using qualitative or quantitative methods will be discussed. Successful strategies for managing grant funded awards and reporting grant outcomes to funding agencies and broader communities of learners will be shared. Each participant will identify areas for increasing grant seeking competencies and targeted discussions will build confidence and grant seeking skills important to each for their grant research, grant writing, and grant award management needs.
