This course focuses on the grantsmanship process from foundation research and cultivation to the development and writing of a proposal for submission to a foundation, corporation, or agency. It will introduce participants to the important elements of a grant proposal including the cover letter, summary statement, statement of problem or need, goals and objectives, methodology, evaluation, the budget, and future funding. Participants will learn about the typical questions funders ask when considering a proposal and criteria used. Students will participate in proposal critiquing exercises and develop and write a full proposal.
