Grants, Policy, and Administration

3 credits · Peabody College - Professional

Grants from government and private sources provide crucial funding to universities, K-12 schools, hospitals, law enforcement agencies, social service agencies, and non-profit organizations. There is a constant demand for grant funding and for grant personnel who understand the range and complexity of grant funding sources. This course will ensure participants gain a practical understanding of grant theory, grant policy, grant funding research methods, and effective application of that knowledge in order to secure and/or disseminate appropriate grant funding for their organization or project. Since this course is designed to focus on grant policy development and grant administration, a primary focus will be placed on developing skills related to organizational internal and external strategic planning, capacity building and the creative and disciplined execution of grant funds.
