Fine Tuning Your Grant Writing Skills - Coming Soon!
This 10 session course is designed for intermediate grant writers who want to take their writing (and success!) to the next level. Registration is limited to ensure that all participants receive individual attention.
For each session, readings, online resources, and instructor presentations will be supplemented by an online discussion group, allowing participants to interact with the instructor and with each other.
In addition to course sessions, each participant will receive two 30-minute consultations with the instructor to review course assignments (grant proposals) and address more detailed individual issues. The instructor will be available for 30 minutes per week for an "office hours" online session for general content questions. Core content sessions are recorded and participants have online access to the recordings for six months.
All paid participants receive a copy of the instructor's book, 101 Tips for Aspiring Grant Writers.
At the end of the course, participants who effectively completed at least 8 sessions (and corresponding quizzes) and at least one grant proposal will receive a certificate of completion and letter of reference.
Participants complete a pre-course needs assessment prior to the first session so course content can be tailored to the needs of participants.
