writer. Here's a workshop, if you're still interested.

The Grant Institute
Grants 101: Professional Grant Proposal Writing Workshop
will be held at
Tennessee State University - Main Campus
Nashville, Tennessee
November 12 -14, 2007
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
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.
(1) 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.
(2) 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.
(3) 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.
