Subject: [Okgrantsmanship] Feedback Requested

Dear Potential Workshop Participants,

I have been asked to lead a Sponsored Programs Administrator professional development session on Advanced Grantsmanship: Structuring Research Grants on June 10 and Advanced Grantsmanship: Structuring Educational Evaluation Programs on June 11.

•         Structuring Research Grants – This session would be an exploration of the structure of a research grant (as opposed to a program grant). Models of successful grants to NSF and NIH will be used. Resources will include the following:
Kenneth Henson’s GRANT WRITING IN HIGHER EDUCATION,
Lloyd Fricker’s How to Write a REALLY Bad Grant Application (and Other Helpful Advice for Scientists),
Webster’s New World Grant Writing Handbook,
the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Making the Right Moves,
EPSCoR’s Writing from the Winner’s Circle,
the NSF’s Grant Proposal Guide, January 2010 (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf10_1/index.jsp),
the National Cancer Institute’s Everything You Wanted to Know About the NCI Grants Process But Were Afraid to Ask,
William Gerin’s Writing the NIH Grant Proposal, and
Russell and Morrison’s the Grant Application Writer’s Workbook, published by the National Institutes of Health.

The Structuring Research Grants workshop will be from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm with a break for lunch. The afternoon will be spent in critiquing sample research proposals.

•         Structuring Educational Evaluation Programs – This session will be an overview of a program evaluation approach to any project, specifying the formats of descriptions to be included in a program grant proposal and a research grant proposal, and analyzing the differences. Resources will include the following:
Patrick Miller’s Grant Writing: Strategies for Developing Winning Proposals,
Smith and Tremore’s The Everything Grant Writing Book,
Alexis Black’s Getting Grants,
the US Department of Education’s Compendium of Student, Teacher, and Classroom Measures Used in NCEE Evaluations of Educational Interventions (http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/pubs/20104012/index.asp),
the US Department of Education’s Practice Guide: Using Student Achievement Data to Support Instructional Decision Making (http://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/pdf/practiceguides/dddm_pg_092909.pdf),
April Bender’s Reinvesting in youth: Strategies and Funding, and
Krista Shumacher’s Foundations of Grant Development.

The Structuring Educational Evaluation Programs will be from 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. The last hour will be spent in critiquing sample evaluation plans taken from grant proposals.

Please respond with the following information:

1.       Are these workshops needed?____Yes____No
2.       Will you attend both workshops?____Yes____No
3.       Is June the best date for you?____Yes____No
4.       Would you attend if they were offered in September?____Yes____No

If you have other information to offer or questions to ask, please let me know. If you want to register for both or either workshop, also let me know that. There will be no fee, but you must register to attend.

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you.
