HPE 607 Grant Writing Seminar

The goal of this seminar block is to complete a five-page grant proposal using GEA Grant Program guidelines. We will review and practice writing common components of educational research grant proposals. Learners are strongly encouraged to craft a proposal that fits their program of research. At the end of the seminar, learners have the option of submitting the proposal to the GEA. This will satisfy PhD learners’ practicum requirement of a grant submission.
