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
