*June 6 - 8, 2011
*8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
*To be held at:
*University of Houston
Houston, Texas*



Sponsored by: The Grant Training Center <http://granttrainingcenter.org/>

This intensive three-day grant proposal workshop is geared for: 1) those who
wish to strengthen their grant writing skills and 2) beginners who wish to
acquire and master the techniques of preparing, writing and winning
proposals from various funding agencies. The center of attention will be on
how to effectively write proposals in times of keen competition and limited
resources. Much has happened in new regulations and in approaches to grant
writing, be it for the researcher in the sciences and social sciences,
education and non-profit professionals.
Participants Will Learn How to:
1. Navigate the world of grant procurement
2. Research and identify potential funding sources
3. Address the guidelines of federal and foundation applications
4. Focus foundation and corporate giving for the State of Texas
5. Understand the new federal guidelines for writing winning grants
6. Know the review process and how to address key points for reviewers
7. Write winning grants that stand out against scores of competing
submissions
8. Develop focused and realistic budgets
9. Demonstrate that one’s proposal merits excellence and innovation
10. Package professional grant submissions

Our ultimate goal is for each participant to walk away with a product
specific to their interests that includes the grant design, abstract and
budget.
Thus, the opportunity to influence the future of your work and ideas is
within your reach. Understanding this reality, institutions are willing to
minimally invest in the training of their staff to make this happen.
