| Join us to learn how to interweave the grant proposal writing process and strategic thinking for successful grant management once the grant is awarded. Learn to cultivate relationships with partners or funding organizations to support projects that promote and maintain conservation and natural resource management. Topics include pre-project planning, alternative funding sources, and writing a solid grant proposal. Bring a potential grant project with you to work on during the course. You will develop a grant application and critique the critical parts of a successful grant proposal. |
