| OUT8116 - Grant Writing for Conservation |
| Outreach Courses List | DEO Home |
|
|
| 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 the human personal relationships with partners or other funding organizations to support projects that promote and maintain conservation and natural resource management. The grant development planning process will engage participants in how to undertake pre-project planning, where to go to seek alternative funding sources, and how to write the essential elements of a solid grant proposal. Bring a potential grant project with you to work on during the course. You will be given the opportunity to develop a grant application and critique the critical parts of a successful grant proposal. |
