Grantsmanship in Community Colleges
Workshop Summary
Two-year colleges such as community colleges, technical colleges and career colleges do not place emphasis on research in the same manner as four-year colleges and university. As a result, two-year college faculty do not have robust opportunities and experiences for developing grant-writing skills. Additionally, when opportunities arise for 2-year college faculty to partner with 4-year faculty challenges may arise as skills, resources, experience and assumptions are intermingled.
This workshop will introduce faculty from two-year colleges how to best explore and prepare for opportunities to form a grant writing team, research grant opportunities, partner with four-year institutions and submit an NSF proposal. Faculty from four-year institutions will also gain insight for strengthening grant proposals when partnering with two-year schools.
There will be plenty of time for questions.
