Writing Successful Grants in Prevention

Writing Successful Grants in Prevention: 2-Part Series

Workshop #1: Planning for Successful Grant Writing & Problem Statements
In this first workshop, you will learn how to effectively plan and prepare to write state and federal prevention grants - and to see grant-writing as an "engine" for an organization's fiscal sustainability. Specifically, you will select grants, create a grant timeline, write proposals, develop pre-written materials, build a grant-writing team, use common frameworks like SAMHSA’s Strategic Prevention Framework, demonstrate community engagement, and form effective partnerships with agreements.

Workshop #2: How to Write Successful Grant Narratives in Prevention
This second workshop in the “Writing Successful Grants in Prevention” series focuses on the key parts of a strong grant proposal narrative in the field of prevention. Participants will learn how to:

• Write a compelling problem statement which describes the problem you aim to solve using data (substance use prevalence, risk/protective factors, consequence data) gathered from your local community.
• Write a strong project description that outlines the evidence-based and/or evidence-informed activities of the grant and is organized using SMART goals and objectives.
• Draft a strategy for evaluation that demonstrates how to show the impact of the proposed project.
• Propose a project budget that outlines how funds will be used to accomplish the proposed project activities.
