THE GRANT INSTITUTE

GRANTS 101: 

Professional Grant Proposal Writing Workshop

to be held at the

University of Toronto - Victoria College

Toronto, Ontario

December 13 - 15, 2006

8:00 AM - 5:00 PM

Alumni Hall, VC 115

The Grant Institute’s Grants 101 Course is an intensive and detailed
introduction to the process, structure, and skill of professional proposal
writing. This course is characterized by its ability to act as a thorough
overview, introduction, and refresher at the same time. In this course,
participants will learn the entire proposal writing process and complete the
course with a solid understanding of not only the ideal proposal structure,
but a holistic understanding of the essential factors, which determine
whether or not a program gets funded. Through the completion of interactive
exercises and activities, participants will complement expert lectures by
putting proven techniques into practice. This course is designed for both
the beginner looking for a thorough introduction and the intermediate
looking for a refresher course that will strengthen their grant acquisition
skills. This class, simply put, is designed to get results by creating
professional grant proposal writers. 

Participants will become competent program planning and proposal writing
professionals after successful completion of the Grants 101 course. In three
active and informative days, students will be exposed to the art of
successful grant writing practices, and led on a journey that ends with a
masterful grant proposal. 

Grants 101 consists of three (3) courses that will be completed during the
three-day workshop. 
FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAM PLANNING 
This course is centered on the belief that "it’s all about the program."
This intensive course will teach professional program development essentials
and program evaluation. While most grant writing "workshops" treat program
development and evaluation as separate from the writing of a proposal, this
class will teach students the relationship between overall program planning
and grant writing. 

PROFESSIONAL GRANT WRITING 
Designed for both the novice and experienced grant writer, this course will
make each student an overall proposal writing specialist. In addition to
teaching the basic components of a grant proposal, successful approaches,
and the do’s and don’ts of grant writing, this course is infused with expert
principles that will lead to a mastery of the process. Strategy resides at
the forefront of this course’s intent to illustrate grant writing as an
integrated, multidimensional, and dynamic endeavor. Each student will learn
to stop writing the grant and to start writing the story. Ultimately, this
class will illustrate how each component of the grant proposal represents an
opportunity to use proven techniques for generating support.

GRANT RESEARCH 
At its foundation, this course will address the basics of foundation,
corporation, and government grant research. However, this course will teach
a strategic funding research approach that encourages students to see
research not as something they do before they write a proposal, but as an
integrated part of the grant seeking process. Students will be exposed to
online and database research tools, as well as publications and directories
that contain information about foundation, corporation, and government grant
opportunities. Focusing on funding sources and basic social science
research, this course teaches students how to use research as part of a
strategic grant acquisition effort.
