When engaged in grant writing or grant facilitation, consider the following…

• In what ways should a grant application be like a student answer on a homework assignment or exam?

• Why should I have a time line for the time before the grant application deadline?

• Why should I have a non-discipline colleague and my 12th grade daughter serve as a reader for my grant application?

• If someone asks me to serve as a grant application reader, what do I do?

• How can I learn from reviewer rejection when I am so hurt by their letter?

• What do I plan to do NOW that I hadn’t planned on doing before reading the Grant Writing Toolkit?

Special thanks for Dr. Murray Young (TRU) for providing leading questions for discussion during a grant writing workshop at Thompson Rivers University.
