OVERVIEW
The purpose of this assignment is to help you become familiar with common resources available to research and apply for grants. As future grant writers, it is essential to know where to find the most current information regarding grant rules and regulations. Finding potential funders can be more challenging to the proposal writing process. Learning where to go for information will be valuable throughout your career.
INSTRUCTIONS
You will investigate and report about Grants.gov ( https://www.grants.gov/ ) and The Foundation Center by Candid ( https://foundationcenter.org/ ). These are two resources designed to assist organizations in acquiring grant dollars. For each, you will provide answers to the following questions:
1. What is it?
2. Where does one find it?
3. Why does it exist?
4. Who authorized or sponsored it?
5. How does one access the data from it?
6. How do the two databases compare?
The assignment should be written as an Investigative Report (i.e., in the first person) recanting the methodology utilized to answer the questions and providing your opinion about the resource. The report needs to be 3–5 pages in length and professionally written. You can use APA or AMA format. The questions should be used as headings within the report.
