THE GRANT INSTITUTE
GRANTS 101: 
Professional Grant Proposal Writing Workshop
to be held at
Boise State University
Boise, ID
June 21 - 23, 2006
8:00 AM - 5:00 PM
Student Union Building, Room Hatch B

The Grant Institute´s Grants 101 Course is an intensive and 
detailed introduction to the process, structure, and skill of 
professional proposal writing. This course is characterized by 
its ability to act as a thorough overview, introduction, and 
refresher at the same time. In this course, participants will 
learn the entire proposal writing process a?d complete the 
course with a solid understanding of not only the ideal proposal 
structure, but a holistic understanding of the essential 
factors, which determine whether or not a program gets funded. 
Through the completion of interactive exercises and activities, 
participants will complement expert lectures by putting proven 
tech?iques into practice. This course is designed for both the 
beginner looking for a thorough introduction and the 
intermediate looking for a refresher course that will strengthen 
their grant acquisition skills. This class, simply put, is 
designed to get results by creating professional grant proposal 
writers. Participants will become competent program planning and 
proposal writing professionals after successful completion of 
the Grants 101 course. In three active and informative days, 
students will be exposed to the art of successful grant writing 
practices, and led on a journey that ends with a masterful grant 
proposal. Grants 101 consists of three (3) courses that will be 
completed during the three-day workshop. FUNDAMENTALS OF PROGRAM 
PLANNING This course is centered on the belief that "it´s all 
about the program." This intensive course will teach 
professional program development essentials and program 
evaluation. While most grant writing "workshops" treat program 
development and evaluation as separate from the writing of a 
proposal, this class will teach students the relationship 
between overall program plannin? a?d grant writing.  

PROFESSIONAL GRANT WRITING Designed for both the novice and 
experienced grant writer, this course will make each student an 
overall proposal writing specialist. In addition to teaching the 
basic components of a grant proposal, successful approaches, and 
the do´s and don´ts of grant writing, this course is infused 
with expert principles that will lead to a mastery of the 
process. Strategy resides at the forefront of this courseTMs 
intent to illustrate grant writing as an integrated, 
multidimensional, and dynamic endeavor. Each student will learn 
to stop writing the grant and to start wri?ing the s?ory. 
Ultimately, this class will illustrate how each component of the 
grant proposal represents an opportunity to use proven 
techniques for generating support.  

GRANT RESEARCH
At its foundation, this course will address the basics of 
foundation, corporation, and government grant research. However, 
this course will teach a strategic funding research approach 
that encourages students to see research not as something they 
do before they write a proposal, but as an integrated part of 
the grant seeking process. Students will be exposed to online 
and database research tools, as well as publications and 
directories that contain information about foundation, 
corporation, and government grant opportunities. Focusing on 
funding sources and basic social science research, this course 
teaches students how to use research as part of a strategic 
grant acquisition effort.
