Writing Winning Grants
Funding agencies often seek to support solid, innovative projects that are designed to solve an identifiable problem through collaborative means. When a Federal agency releases a Request for Proposals (RFP) or a Grant Application Notice, the agency's proposal reviewers hope to read proposals that demonstrate that the grant writer (or grant-writing team) read the instructions carefully.
When the Request for Proposal/Solicitation or Grant Application is released, the grant requirements can seem quite variable and overwhelming. However, upon closer examination, they all have one common requirement that is key to writing a winning grant. That common requirement has to do with ensuring that your proposed program/project matches the requirements of the funding agency.
In addition to this common element, a successful grant proposal
should be thoughtful, well prepared, and packaged concisely. Federal
agencies and offices offer a host of tools and documents on developing
quality grant proposals. Listed in this section are a few resources
to help you effectively navigate the Federal grant process.
We also share information on the Government Performance Results Act (GPRA)
and it impact on you as a potential grantee.
