General Workflow

Help them understand the difference in grants

Initial consultation to discuss advantages of all levels of grant complexity

  • Discussions on the overall competitive grant process

  • Develop an idea within a safe environment

  • Create opportunities for undergraduates & keep them engaged in the process

  • Navigate offices critical to developing a strong proposal

  • Nurture partnerships and collaborations

  • Create renewable grant cycles

  • How to proceed whether a proposal is accepted or denied

 

Grant complexity as a matter of size and scope

  • All grants serve a purpose and have value

  • Navigating the administrative commitment

  • Deciding on pursuing a grant that "alters the landscape" versus a more local impact

  • Constructing a project design that 

​

F&A works with client

  • Helping an institution choose which grants are right for them - duplicate the process on the duplicating the interview process for the scaffolding page (change it a bit) Discussing what type of grant - is it because .... more complex requires more moving parts - why do they want complex grants (we want larger bucks coming in - then F&A comes in to talk about what grants they are working on. Would involve workshops to help understand the difference.) Report on how research is changing at the institution.

  • If F&A cannot fully address a complex question on the fly, we follow up within a few days

​

F&A obtains feedback from client and/or workshop participants

Workshop fees depend on its structure and the number of participants. Contact F&A for more details.
