Your directions at this stage come from your grant guidelines. Time management is critical. Follow and complete the grant guidelines carefully and seek others to review your writing and preparation. It is common for the work of editing, disseminating for others to review, and revising to take a few weeks. Make sure your course instructor receives these various versions of the proposal as they are developed.
Many grants ask for letters of support, another process that can take many days to complete.
When your revisions are complete and letters of support are in, you will need the signatures of an authorizing administrator, an administrator that may need time for a lawyer and finance officer to review the final document. Notify administrators well ahead of time that a grant proposal is nearing the time that signatures will be needed. You do not want to find out that a key signature cannot be obtained close to a mailing deadline because someone is out of town during this crucial period. Once your grant proposal is in the mail, start on the next grant. It will take your mind off wondering what will happen to your last proposal.
