This includes assistance in prioritizing what should be included in additional grant support funding.

  10. M V V • MISSION—what is your role/purpose • VISION—what are your far range goals • VALUES—what are the key attributes of your organization that set you apart ********** Grant proposals should be a reflection of all three.

  17. Key Proposal Items Needs Assessment or Problem Statement Goals and Objectives Program Evaluation or Outcomes Assessment Plan of Action/Activities to Address Need

  18. Proposal Development SMART Objectives

  19. Proposal Development Sustainability • What will happen after the funding ends? • List matching funds, in-kind, revenue, etc. Dissemination • How will you distribute results? Think usual (papers, posters, web, etc.) and innovative. Funders like to be acknowledged.

  20. Proposal Development Submission • Never submit the day grants are due. Murphy’s Law is always in effect. • If pasting responses into an online submission form (common with corporate foundations), pay attention to character limits and whether they include spaces.

  21. Post-Award • Celebrate! • Budget negotiation sometimes involved • PI/institution sign grant award • Hold a post-award meeting with team: key staff, accounting, and evaluation • Be cognizant of reporting dates

  22. If you do not win

  23. If you do not win • Don’t be discouraged. Success rates are low. Take a comprehensive approach to win. • Read the reviews carefully, if provided, and ask colleagues to do the same. • Discuss reviews with program officer. • Address reviews within resubmission.

  24. Grant Myths I don’t need to worry about the grant deadline

  25. Grant Myths • Cost sharing is not a problem • We don’t have to be that careful about in-kind cost sharing—no one is going to check

  26. Grant Myths We don’t have to respond to everything in the RFP

  27. Grant Myths Fonts, margins, page limits, etc. are not that important Who cares about a few typoes

  28. Grant Myths • After we get the award, we’re on easy street • It doesn’t matter if I don’t submit grant reports
