Grant Writing for Public Service

Catalog description

The Grant Writing for Public Service class is designed for students whose job assignment requires knowledge of grant writing. The course will teach students the mechanics of proposal writing and the political and social aspects of "grantsmanship," as they develop their skills in identifying sources of grant funding, doing useful research to support their applications, and designing their proposals to specific departmental needs. There will be several short writing assignments, an exam, and an independent project. Students may also be asked to engage in a collaborative grant project to help build their skills in collaboration and grant writing across a wider spectrum.
