How to Supercharge Your Grant Research
Virtual

1pm ET 

There is no doubt, to be done successfully, grant research takes critical time away from effective grant writing and grant relationship development and maintenance. However, without the appropriate amount of time spent on grant research, your relationship-building efforts, and especially your grant writing work will fall flat! Participating in “How to Supercharge Your Grant Research” will strengthen your grant research process. In this live webinar, we will discuss how to best use the variety of tools available for foundation research to create and support your grant-seeking plan and strategy. We will look at opportunities for discounts or short-term access to reduce grant research expenses while supercharging your results from the research. We will also address the key role that your colleagues should play in the grant research process and how to get them excited and engaged to help keep their eyes open for grant opportunities.
