The Grant Application Process: An Overview
Seeking a Possible Match: Two Approaches • Identifying something you wish to do and then seeking a suitable funding source • Looking for a request for proposals in your field and then developing a proposal that meets the criteria • (Note: Sometimes a request for proposals has another name, such as call for proposals or program announcement. )
Preparing to Write the Proposal • • Reading instructions carefully Consulting a program officer, if appropriate Researching the literature Doing preliminary studies, if applicable Contacting potential collaborators, if any Determining expected costs Other
Writing and Submitting the Proposal • If requested, submitting a letter of intent or pre-proposal • Drafting the proposal • Revising (and re-revising) the proposal • Obtaining feedback on one or more drafts • Double-checking that all instructions have been followed • Submitting the proposal as instructed
Awaiting the Decision • Typically, committees evaluate proposals. • These committees generally contain experts in the field of work. Sometimes they include others too. • Often, these committees both – Determine which proposals are acceptable – Determine which proposals are best (because not enough money is available to fund all acceptable proposals)
Following Up • If your proposal is funded, doing and reporting on the work • If you are invited to revise and resubmit the proposal, proceeding accordingly • Otherwise, deciding how to proceed (Note: Even if your proposal is not funded, you may receive feedback that can help in preparing future proposals. )
Writing a Proposal: General Advice (Note: These points will be discussed more extensively at various times in the workshop. )
Key Advice on Preparing Proposals • Seek a funding source well matched with your goals • Start preparing your proposal early • Gather plenty of information • Follow the instructions carefully • Prepare a detailed, realistic budget • Write readably • Revise, revise
Small-Group Session: Your Proposed Project
Your Proposed Project • Tell your small group what project you’ll propose in your proposal. Answer questions (for example, requests for clarification). • Explain to your small group why this project is important. Answer any questions. • Be ready to tell the full group, in one minute or less, what you propose to do and why it is important.
Example I am seeking funding to give graduate students a workshop on careers in editing. There is a shortage of good editors. Yet many students are not aware of career possibilities in this field. Therefore I believe that such a workshop would be worthwhile.
Thank you!
