This schedule involves home study and participation in 4-5 additional workshops, during which the candidate assumes increasing responsibility for the training. During this period of preparation we cover travel and other expenses, but no fee is paid. Consultant trainers work from their own home or office. While some of their workshops will be near home, most will require travel- often extensive travel. Trainers are paid a fee for each training as well as hotel, per diem and transportation costs.
All trainers meet in person once each year for a retreat.
They maintain continuing communication with TGCI and with each other over the Internet. TGCI's philosophy is that grantsmanship has as much to do with planning as it has to do with funding. We are interested in applicants who share that belief. Candidates should submit a cover letter, a resume, and writing samples, including but not limited to grant proposals. If you wish, you may send along your favorite grant joke.
