“This is a project oriented course. The best way to learn about “Grant Writing and Administration” is to do it! So, it is important to start at the very beginning of the term thinking about what type of project you might do. Some students already work for an organization that might have some need for a grant (funding proposal) and perhaps even know of funding sources. Others will have to identify an organization, ask the leadership of the organization if the student might be able to help them with a grant project, and then get information from the organization to do the project. There is generally a lot of networking in doing this type of project (and a short time to get it completed). Therefore, while we will not all have an immediate idea about the project, we can work to quickly find some possible projects and choose one. Whichever way you do it (in other words, you already have a project in mind, vs. you haven’t the faintest idea), remember that the project should generally be designed to meet some needs of the organization or the needs of some client or constituent population served by the organization. So, you will need to learn enough about the organization to either determine their needs early through interviews or work with the organization members to identify some needs that can be met with funding from an outside source.”
