Special Training Opportunity
The Grantsmanship Center's Competing for Federal Grants
October 4- 8, 2010 

Competing for Federal Grants will equip you with the skills you need to develop proposals that will be competitive at the national level. The training is designed for all who need to:

  • Understand federal funding programs
  • Read and interpret application guidelines
  • Assess, realistically, whether it makes sense to enter a particular competition
  • Assemble a workplan for proposal development
  • Develop effective, well-documented arguments
  • Assemble proposals that follow guidelines and respond to the funder's requirements.

We'll use recent application guidelines and funded proposals for presentations, classroom discussion, and hands-on activities. If you're planning to respond to a particular set of application guidelines, we encourage you to bring the guidelines with you to class, so you can use them in the week's exercises. During the training, you'll develop a workplan for proposal development, write key proposal sections, review proposals drafted by your peers, and have your own work reviewed by others.
