Description
When most grant writers think of the grant life cycle they think of three stages - pre-award, award, and post-award. However, the grant life cycle is a much more complex process through which grant seekers must develop the project idea, develop the proposal, implement the project, close out the award, disseminate the knowledge gathered, while building long-lasting relationships with partners and funders. In this course, "Grant Life Cycle", we are going to explore the major steps you need to take to go from idea to dissemination. We will address the value of having a solid, fundable idea, but more important, the significance of building strong relationships with internal and external collaborators and potential funders . We will teach you how to efficiently and effectively search for prospects and explore the components of a compelling proposal. We will walk you through the steps of award negotiation, implementation and dissemination while providing valuable lessons on how to establish relationships which will last far beyond your current grant proposal. We hope you enjoy this course.
