Washington, DC: Saturday, November 14, 2009, 10 am - 4 pm
This one-day workshop introduces the fundamentals of effective project
planning, culminating in the development of a grant proposal for major
funding. In the morning session, goal setting, needs assessment, program design,
program management, budgeting, and evaluation are introduced through
presentation, lively discussion, and individual and small-group exercises. The
afternoon session focuses on proposal presentation, including an introduction
to basic elements in writing winning grants, an overview of funding
sources, and a "hands-on" mock grant review by participants, using actual grant
proposals that have been submitted to federal agencies and private
foundations for funding. Participants will receive copies of sample grant proposals
and an extensive manual covering project planning, federal funding sources,
and informal education resources.
Recent participants in the workshop have commented:
"I am a novice so this was a great introduction that broadened my
understanding ."
"The manual clarified many aspects of grantwriting."
"I especially liked the highly interactive aspects of the workshop."
Workshop leader Russell is a former Program Director, Informal Science
Education/National Science Foundation; science and children's museum director;
project planing, evaluation, and grant development consultant; and
developer/project director of many museum and media projects funded by NIH, NSF,
NEH, and other federal agencies. .
