Analyzing RFPs for Sponsor Hot Buttons
March 4, 2021 | 2-2:45 p.m.
Your responsibility as a grant writer is to present great ideas that
appeal to the values and priorities of the sponsor. Persuasive
proposal writing begins with reading the sponsor’s request
for proposal (RFP). In this session, you will learn a three-step
RFP analysis process to identify sponsor hot buttons and the
evaluation criteria by which grant applications will be judged.
You will also consider ways to integrate persuasive themes
throughout a proposal narrative.

Collaborative Grantseeking: Accumulating Precious “Wins” & Avoiding Painful “Losses”
March 10, 2021 | 12-12:45 p.m.
The benefits of collaborating are many, but well-intended grant
collaborations don’t always turn out as planned. This session will
explore key factors that determine whether grant collaborations
produce precious “wins” or painful “losses.” You will learn about
the different types of collaborations and characteristics that
contribute to success when managing people and projects. You
will also learn tips for integrating the concept of collaboration
throughout your proposals.

REJECTED!—Time to Reconsider or to Revise and Resubmit?
April 1, 2021 | 2-2:45 p.m.
Receiving a rejection letter from a sponsor can be heartbreaking.
While billions of dollars are available in grant funding,
competition is intense and success rates can be disappointingly
low. And nothing is more frustrating than when reviews for a
rejected proposal come back as “excellent” and “fair.” In this
session, you will explore strategies for unpacking reviewer
comments, distinguishing between critiques to take seriously and
remarks to ignore and for strategizing a pathway forward.

Finding Funding: Spotlight on National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Summer Stipends
April 7, 2021 | 12-12:45 p.m.
Are you looking for some summertime support to jumpstart
your humanities-related scholarly research? Or, maybe you have
a book contract and need the summer away from teaching to
dedicate time to the writing process? Then consider checking
out the NEH Summer Stipend program, which supports
continuous full-time work on a humanities project for a period
of two consecutive months. In this session, learn more about
the program and its requirements, the application process and
strategies for submitting your best proposal.
