Grant Research/ Program Development-
Session One
This course is centered around
the belief that "its" 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 grant writing of a proposal, this class will
teach students the relationship between overall program planning and all the
strategic communication, including grant writing. Consistent in our belief in
GDS , this class encourages students to understand successful program
development and to think strategically about funding as an integral part of the
overall program planning process. This class turns them into experts by
teaching how to take ideas and concepts and turn them into professionally
developed programs.
Grant Proposal Writing- Session Two

experienced grant writer, this course will make each student an overall
fundraising communication specialist. In addition to teaching the basic
components of a grant proposal, successful approaches, 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 we illustrate how each
component of the grant proposal represents an opportunity to use proven
techniques for generating support.
