3.HSM/ABus 4571: Intro to Grant Writing for Non-Profit & Health Care Orgs
This course will provide students with the tools needed to research and write grants in today's funding and political climate, which finds decreasing government funding for educational and other social service funding, resulting in an increased need for non-profit groups to find new or additional financial support. At the same time, government and non-profit foundations are significantly increasing support for targeted health care research funding. Students will learn the basics of grant writing, including how to: identify potential funding sources, respond to a Request for Proposal by creating a needs assessment, goal statement, budget and grant funding plans, and the importance and trends in public and private health care and social services funding as compared to other non-profits. This course is 3 credits; it is fully online, and students must have 45 credits completed or in progress in order to enroll.
