Course overview

Many grant announcements require that the applicant provide a justification for funding as part of a grant narrative. This is especially true today given the precipitous increases in crime that many agencies have faced in recent years. Grantors want you to describe the problems that you are facing so that they can ascertain whether funding is warranted. The strongest applications will demonstrate a command of the data, depict temporal trends with text and figures, make projections given current and past patterns, and demonstrate that data collection processes required for a grant are feasible and have been thought through. This course teaches participants how they can analyze their crime, traffic accident, staffing, and other data, in order to make a compelling case for why grant funds are deserved. Special emphasis is given to creating analytic products to include in your application that convey the results of your analysis in a clear, concise, and professional way. Participants also learn how to create data collection instruments in Excel for applications that require data collection, performance measures, and/or evaluation as part of the solicitation. This course provides the tools needed to make your needs assessment/problem statement section of your grant application stand out among the crowd of applications. This course assumes no or very little experience with Microsoft Excel.
