Grant Writing Boot Camp 2013

During the summer of 2013, EHHD sponsored a grant writing boot camp.  The purpose of the boot camp was to build a community of grant-active EHHD faculty who collaborate in writing and carrying out grant-funded projects, who support each other, and who share ideas and resources. Our goal in EHHD is to build a lasting and long-term process, community, and infrastructure for grant-funded projects within the college. Below please find links to videos of several of the boot camp sessions.
