Once a funding source is identified, the Office of Grants Administration will reach out to schedule a meeting with you and your team. At that time we will revisit and review the grant concept as well as work on a timeline of completion. In order to write a strong grant, we will need to work together to perform a needs assessment, write the proposal, and develop a strong evaluation tool. Below are resources for each of these items that you may review at your own time.
