Description: Grant Writing 102 is based upon the principles and instruction included in the Grant Writing 101 course. Participants with more experience writing grants will have an opportunity to receive detailed critical feedback as they develop a proposal. A central goal of the course is to develop clear Specific Aims Page (which supplies additional background information) as the heart of the grant, which attendees will submit prior to class. This will be used for discussion, critique and suggestions from your instructors and classmates. Typically a project will go through several cycles before moving on to writing the rest of the proposal. A participant may aim to fully develop a proposal and submit it at the end of the workshop, or may choose to develop a proposal over several workshops. Participants are encouraged to use the workshop to prepare revisions of previously reviewed grants, competitive renewals of previously funded grants, as well as new proposals.
