GRA - Grant

Designed for novice grant writers, this course will provide the fundamental mechanics of grant proposal writing through a series of practical exercises that will form the basis for the students' proposal draft. Students will develop skills in initiating research, identifying needs, discovering available funding sources, and targeting audiences to support their grant application.

This course will allow students to obtain detailed data through further research to support the students’ grant proposal. Emphasis will be placed on assessing their organizations’ strengths and weakness (SWOT analysis); developing a program design, problem statement, timeline, and budget; developing a flow chart of the proposed program (logic model); and an executive summary. Prerequisite: GRA 201.
