Dan Webb, PhD

February 3, 2022, 1-2:30 PM EST

COURSE DESCRIPTION

A successful grant application requires several foundational pieces that are common across grant opportunities. These elements include a history of the community being served, an assessment of the community’s strengths/needs, and proper writing management to meet length requirements. In this session, participants will learn how to read a grant announcement and create a plan for responding to a request for proposals (RFP). This is the second session of a four-part series that will empower participants to find and appropriately respond to grant opportunities.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Explain how to create a community overview and assessment
• Review practical approaches to satisfying response requirements within allotted space
• Explore techniques for making the grant writing process more manageable
