This MicroCourse is dedicated to helping those responsible for responding to requests for proposals or grant applications achieve greater success in their efforts. Successful proposal writing requires understanding the value of persuasion, knowing what to include to be competitive, appreciating what not to include, and striking the correct tone to inspire confidence by the reader. In this course, the instructor(s) will share tactics and techniques they have learned over decades of writing proposals and grant applications, and strategies and considerations that will allow your writing to rise to the top of the candidate pile.
