Tips and Guides

GrantProse staff often conduct training programs, seminars, and presentations on the principles and practices of preparing competitive grant proposals and managing grant programs. In these programs, there are a number of questions or issues that usually arise, such as "Where do I find grants for my program?", "What is the language that I should use in a grant proposal?", How should a letter of support be written?", "What is a budget 'narrative'"?, and many others. While most, if not all of these questions will be addressed in the training program, still, we have found it useful to prepare some brief handouts, guides, and/or collection of tips and suggestions to reinforce our training. Below, are a number of these documents, and you will be notified in our newsletter of new documents when they are prepared.
