Seminar in Grant Writing

This course will introduce students to the federal grant funding process across federal agencies (IES, NIH, ACF, NSF), and will facilitate the preparation of a grant for graduate funding. Students will learn how to select an agency and a division within that agency to submit; about funding mechanisms within each agency; and about the submission, review, and award processes. In addition, they will learn about how to submit a successful application. The course is intended for students who are planning to pursue careers in which federal funding for research is necessary.
