Grant writing
• Grant writing is like competing in a race….
– There’s a specific end point/finish line
– People tend to scope out the competition
– It doesn’t come naturally to all (some people love it, others really dislike it)
– If you want to win, you must prepare (or train)
– You ALWAYS feel really good when it is over!
![Page 9: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why do we write grant proposals?
Because this is not how it works…..

Grant Proposal Sections
The main parts of a grant proposal: • Cover letter • Statement of need • Organizational background • Methods • Evaluation plan • Budget and budget justification • Appendices/Letters of Support Remember to read RFA instructions for key areas/items to cover in each section
![Page 15: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Why are we always waiting until the last minute????
![Page 16: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Grant Proposals
• When we wait until the last minute, grant proposals tend to fail because they:
– Are not cohesive or poorly written
– Do not include the required sections or sections are incomplete
– Do not include any form of partnerships/ community involvement
– Do not present any local data/ or create a rationale or sense of urgency
![Page 17: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
What can we do to avoid the (hurry up, work all night, get it
out) rush?
![Page 18: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Prepare NOW!!!
Prepare now (even before identifying a RFA) by:
1. Developing partnerships within your community
2. Collecting data within your community
3. Drafting well written, cohesive proposal sections (organizational background, needs statement)
![Page 19: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

So why are partnerships so important to grant proposals?
![Page 26: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What is a Partnership?
• Involves sharing of goals, activities, responsibilities and resources
• Relationship can be temporary or permanent
• Informal or structured through contracts or other legal agreements
• Limited or broad in scope
• Usually voluntary in principle
• Maintain basic legal and fiscal independence of the member organizations

Developing Partnerships
Community partnerships:
• Recognize mutual need or purpose
• Acknowledge and help with resource scarcity
• May be a result of a failure of existing efforts to address a problem
• May be legislative or extra-organizational or funding mandate
• Stem from a belief that collaboration will produce positive outcomes
![Page 28: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Q & A
How many community partners should you have?
a. At least 5 but no more than 8
b. About 15
c. It really depends on the community
d. None of the above
![Page 29: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Advantages of Partnerships • Enable organizations to get involved in new & broader
issues without taking sole responsibility for them
• Demonstrate widespread public support for issues, actions or unmet needs
• Maximize the power of individuals and groups through joint action
• Mobilize more talents, resources and approaches to influence an issue than any single organization could achieve alone
• Provide an avenue for recruiting participants from diverse constituencies
![Page 30: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Steps to Developing Partnerships for Grant Proposals
1. Identify potential partners (key players in your community and organizations that have similar missions) to meet your grant’s goals
2. Set up a meeting well in advance of the grant writing to discuss potential collaboration
3. Stay in contact and sustain relationships
4. Discuss roles and materials needed for writing the grant
![Page 31: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Community Links
• You may not be considering all key organizations in your community
• Consider all organizations and think about how your goals could overlap or synchronize with others
– For example: Who may be a potential partner for a tobacco prevention program for middle
school students?
![Page 32: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Community Linkages
![Page 33: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Initiate or Re-engage the Partnership
• Set up a meeting with the head of the organization to discuss future collaboration
• Be prepared to talk about: – Your organization’s strengths and weaknesses
– Future direction and goals
– Past endeavors/ submitted and/or funded proposals
– How you see the partnership benefitting their organization
![Page 34: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Sustain the Relationship
• Share draft of the proposal with partners for feedback and comments
• Follow-up with the potential partners regularly
• Update them on your organization’s successes and outcomes of grant proposal
• Invite potential partners to your events and engage them in activities ( even if the grant proposal is not successful)
![Page 35: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Make the “Ask”
• Don’t wait until after you have written the proposal to ask for support- ask in the pre-planning phase
• Invite your partners to the planning table and ask them if and how they would like to partner with you in the proposed project
• Don’t be afraid to ask for their input and for a
commitment to the project
![Page 36: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Grant Proposal Review for Partnerships
• Grant Reviewers look for:
– Continuity of support from established partnerships throughout the proposal
– A collaborative approach to addressing a community problem that uses multiple resources
– Common goals among the partners that you describe in your proposal
– The letters of support in the appendices match the partner descriptions
![Page 37: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Needs Statement
A Needs Statement:
• Describes the nature of the problem or need with supportive evidence
• Discusses the factors that contribute to the problem
• Identifies gaps in services or programs
• Provides a rationale for the significance of your project
![Page 41: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Needs Statement • Reports primary and secondary data about the health
issue
• Types of information to include:
– Incidence and prevalence of problem (national and local)
– Information known about it (definitions, risks, prevention, costs)
– Populations affected
– Programs addressing problem
– Costs or consequences
– Meeting of national or state objectives (Healthy People 2020)

Writing a Needs Statement
• Focus the explanation of need from broader to local area
• State the need using statistics from multiple sources
• Use statistics to make the point
• Employ comparative statistics (e.g. how your county is higher than the state)
![Page 43: On Your Mark, Get Set, Prepare! - Emory Universityweb1.sph.emory.edu/eprc/docs/PlanningforSuccessful...organization to discuss future collaboration •Be prepared to talk about: –Your](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022080718/5f78884ed8f0d718f21aff24/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
