Duke University: Level 2 Grant Writing

Learn the full grantsmanship cycle, tools to write compelling proposals, and the basics of effective grants management.

About this Event

This course will provide participants with an understanding of the full grantsmanship cycle, essential tools to write a strong, compelling grant proposal and the fundamentals of successful grants management.

Building on Level I, the second session will examine compliance and the closing out of a grant, both as basic elements of a proposal (continuing from Day 1) and as key to successful grants management—an act of stewardship. Focus will also be placed on considerations around future funding, including diversifying funding sources. In the final part of the session, participants will have the opportunity to work in small groups in the writing of a current grant proposal, followed by class review.

Key Learning Objectives:

Create a system for grant compliance, including the management of funds and metrics of progress.

Understand grants management to be an act of stewardship for all relevant parties.

Incorporate future and diverse funding sources into the grants management platform.

Determine the most effective writing strategies and approaches for various grant applications.

Develop and analyze grant narratives/components for strengths and weaknesses to ensure the successful completion of a compelling grant proposal
