MHS 522 - Grant Basics: Writing Effective Grant Proposals

(3 credits)

Grant or proposal writing is an important function for any leader. Preparing successful proposals to receive funding from corporations, foundations, or government entities requires careful research, thorough planning, and skilled writing. This graduate-level interdisciplinary course will introduce the grant-writing process and will detail the essential steps of developing the idea, locating funding sources, planning and prioritizing the project, and crafting the grant proposal. The course will culminate with the submission of a grant proposal and students may have their proposal “funded” or “declined”.
