Description: Grantsmanship is the collective abilities needed to acquire peer reviewed funding for research and other sponsored related activities. It is the means to create positive change and social advocacy in the world as well as close to home within local communities.

...

Your grant proposal idea should: ·       

  • Fit the mission and strategic plan and priorities of the agency

...

  • Must match the objectives explicitly in your writing

...

  • Must sell your idea using stylistic writing an effective visual imagery

...

  • Abide by the polices and instructions of the agency for that funding opportunity

How To:

Some grantsmanship tips

·       

  • Work with your departmental contact or Administrator to get a timeline

  • Start the process early to allow collaborators and relevant materials to be gathered

·       

  • Contact the relevant granting agency contact, sometimes referred to as the Program Officer with any questions about the funding mechanism; they want to help

·       

  • Find colleagues who have served on review boards or have received funding from the agency. They can assist you with determining some of the key elements reviewers seek

·       

  • Discovering the median level of funding for the agency will allow you to create a budget that falls within the threshold

·       

  • Find collaborators that enhance your idea by adding expertise to a specific area

·       

  • Involve others in planning, including staff, community members and other organizations

·       

  • Involve the community and treat them with respect. Encourage collaboration.

·       

  • Differentiate yourself by capitalizing on the infrastructure of Johns Hopkins University. Describe how JHU is different from other organizations and is best to accomplish the aims of your proposal.

·       

  • Stay up to date on relevant research and best practices in your area and organization

·       

  • Most first-time grant proposals are rejected. Don’t take it personally.

·       

  • View funding organizations as partners and advocates.
