Grant Writing for Prevention Professionals: Tips for Surviving a Group Grant Writing Process

Description: Many people serve as the sole grant writer for their prevention organization. However, many more people write grants in a team environment.

However, there are some very tangible ways to offset the challenges and capitalize on the benefits. This session will discuss the varying team dynamics that come into play during a grants team process and offer helpful suggestions, best practices, and tips for collaborative success that will ensure you get the grant written, written well, and out the door on time, without you wanting to pull out your hair!
