<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">The Grant Institute's Grants 101 Course is an
intensive and detailed introduction to the process, structure, and skill of
professional proposal writing. This course is characterized by its ability to
act as a thorough overview, introduction, and refresher at the same time. In
this course, participants will learn the entire proposal writing process and
complete the course with a solid understanding of not only the ideal proposal
structure, but a holistic understanding of the essential factors, which
determine whether or not a program gets funded. Through the completion of
interactive exercises and activities, participants will complement expert
lectures by putting proven techniques into practice. This course is designed for
both the beginner looking for a thorough introduction and the intermediate
looking for a refresher course that will strengthen their grant acquisition
skills. This class, simply put, is designed to get results by creating
professional grant proposal writers. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Participants will become competent program
planning and proposal writing professionals after successful completion of the
Grants 101 course. In three active and informative days, students will be
exposed to the art of successful grant writing practices, and led on a journey
that ends with a masterful grant proposal. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman">Grants 101 consists of three (3) courses that
will be completed during the three-day workshop. </FONT><BR><B><FONT
face="Times New Roman">FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAM PLANNING</FONT></B> <BR><FONT
face="Times New Roman">This course is centered on the belief that "it's all
about the program." 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. </FONT></P>
<P><B><FONT face="Times New Roman">PROFESSIONAL GRANT WRITING</FONT></B>
<BR><FONT face="Times New Roman">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.</FONT></P>
<P><B><FONT face="Times New Roman">GRANT RESEARCH</FONT></B> <BR><FONT
face="Times New Roman">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.</FONT></P>
