SUMMARY:Bring Your Own Grant
DESCRIPTION:Does your narrative feel stale? Have your read your needs statement so many times you can’t objectively evaluate its impact? Have you been using the same language to describe your program for the last five years? Many grant professionals work in offices where they are the only grant writer. We all need someone to review our work and who better than other grant professionals? In this session\, participants will gain valuable feedback from other grant professionals while also having the opportunity to hone their grant review skills.\nParticipants are asked to bring three copies of a sample grant of no more than three pages that includes the funder’s prompts for selected excerpts. Review criteria will be provided at the session to guide peer review.
