About the program

The Laney Graduate School's Grant Writing Program addresses every stage of grant proposal writing: developing fundable projects, presenting projects in persuasive ways, and tailoring proposals to specific funders.

Writing successful humanities or social science grant proposals is a skill that requires cultivation. Of course, the process starts with developing the scholarly competence to do research and with articulating research projects that advance a field of scholarship. But even the best of ideas will fail to get funding unless they are presented in a clear and compelling manner.
