This assignment is designed to help me become familiar with the full grant-writing process by engaging with the course PowerPoints and selected readings.

After reviewing material from the attached 9 PDFs. Choose two to discuss.

Address the following:

1. Materials Reviewed

o Identify which PowerPoints you reviewed during this period.

o Identify at least two readings (PDF chapters) you reviewed and explain briefly why you chose them.

2. Key Takeaways

o Discuss five key things you learned that you believe are essential to the grant-writing process or to grant writing more broadly.

o These may include concepts, strategies, common mistakes, mindset shifts, or practical insights.

3. Reflection and Application

o Explain why these five takeaways stood out to you.

o Reflect on how they shape your understanding of what successful grant writing requires (e.g., preparation, alignment, storytelling, feasibility, relationships, evaluation).

Focus on depth, insight, and clarity rather than coverage.
