Public Health Grant Writing

Catalog description

Grant funding is critical to develop public health knowledge and infrastructure. Organizations such as community-based agencies may write grants to obtain funding to improve the health of their community, and other organizations, such as universities, may write grants to conduct research. In this course, students will learn major grant writing aspects: developing an idea for a project, writing a succinct and impactful one page summary of an idea, considering potential funding sources, and writing a grant application. This course presents a step-by-step approach to writing grants. Throughout this course, students will develop an idea into a written grant proposal. The course culminates in this draft proposal, not an actual grant submission. However, submission may be possible with further development.
