Grant Proposal Writing

Catalog description

This course focuses on the fundamentals of proposal writing, with application to researching and writing grant proposals. Students will explore social, political, and economic contexts driving grant proposal development, as well as common processes in writing grant proposals, such as identifying a project for funding, researching funding sources, tailoring research to write proposals appropriate for their selected sources, and post-award or rejection follow-up with funders. Students will read appropriate texts, as well as complete both short writing assignments and a full grant proposal for a project and funding source of their choosing.
