Money flows to good ideas.
A better approach is to have a good idea, to develop that idea thoroughly and systematically into a proposal which has anticipated all of the questions that might be asked by a funding agency, and then to pursue funding for the idea. Some funding may be right in the local community, building, district, or public agency, but it won't be given to someone for just having a good idea. A well-written proposal conveys to the potential funding agent that this good idea has been well thought out from start to finish and is worthy of the trust which funding implies, trust that the proposer will do what they say they are going to do with the funding. Course participants will learn how to put their ideas for technology enhancement into a proposal format which is comprehensive and complete and which can be used to seek funding from a variety of sources. In this course, participants will develop a vocabulary of glossary terminology in the grant and proposal writing field.
