Jim Vanides offers three tips grant proposals writers use to increase chances of receiving funding. He oversees the HP innovations in education grant program for schools. (Here’s the formal stuff about him: Worldwide Education Programs HP Global Social Investment, Hewlett-Packard. Cool descriptors, Jim.)
1. Explain WHY your proposed project/initiative is important, in terms of learning issues and outcomes.
2. Describe WHAT you will do with the technology received through the HP grant.
3. Describe HOW you will measure the impact of this technology on learning.
Even experienced grant proposal writers and reviewers will find his tips useful reminders of why people use advancing technologies in schools: to increase learning.
Thanks, Jim, for taking the time to remind us.
Great tips…Regards, Data extraction services
