Published:
April 17, 2024

Are you a beginning grant writer or someone who is more experienced? Settle in with your lunch or snack and join the Southeast PTTC as we share a 3-part workshop that will provide beginners with essential information to develop skills and build capacity required for writing strong proposals. For those with a bit more grant writing experience, this workshop will sharpen your skills and keep you up to date on grant writing trends.

From selecting grant opportunities, to writing SMART objectives to thinking about the budget, each workshop includes instructor-led discussions and opportunities for skill-building and participant engagement. Just prior to the final session on June 10, participants will be invited to submit real-life work products that may be selected as case studies for discussion and presenter feedback. All identifying information would be removed from any submission selected by the presenters.

Workshop #1: Planning for Successful Grant Writing

Monday, May 20, 2024, at 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET

This workshop will focus on planning for successful grant writing, with an emphasis on factors outside the proposal narrative that are critical to success.

Workshop #2: Writing a Winning Proposal Narrative

Monday, June 3, 2024, at 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. ET

Session two focuses on the key parts of a strong grant proposal narrative in the field of prevention.

Workshop #3: Analyzing and Learning From Real-World Examples

Monday, June 10, 2024, at 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. ET

The third and final workshop will provide attendees an opportunity to practice and workshop the skills they have learned in workshops 1and 2. Attendees will analyze real-life grant materials that offer ‘teachable’ moments to identify areas of strength as well as areas for improvement. Prior to this final session, we will solicit real-life work products from registrants for discussion and feedback from the presenters during the workshop.
