Proposal Writing Workshops

We conduct Proposal Writing Workshops that provide the following instruction and practical skills necessary for developing successful proposals:

 

  • Methods to collect and assess the required data to demonstrate a need for funding

  • Development of an appropriate budget and personnel structure that adequately corresponds with an effective yet realistic Plan of Operation

  • ​Setting performance objectives that are ambitious yet attainable

  • ​Creation of a comprehensive yet relevant Evaluation Plan​

​

With more than 20 years of experience successfully developing or reviewing federal grant proposals for institutions and agencies throughout the nation, we have impressive rates of success:

​

  • 100% of Upward Bound proposals were funded in the 2022 competition

  • 90% of Upward Bound Math–Science proposals were funded in 2022 (all unfunded proposals had perfect scores and were on the funding band)

  • 92.3% of all proposals developed or reviewed since 2006 were successfully funded (631 of 684 proposals) See more stats here.

     

And... since we started tracking this data in 2022, more than 75% of NEC Proposal Writing Workshop attendees submitted successful proposals.

"This training was by far the BEST TRIO workshop, and I've done SSS, Upward Bound, and Talent Search from other sources and they simply don't compare to the quality, resources, and knowledge. I also appreciated insight into "lost points" and how to improve the answers. The training was worth every penny!"

"Presenters are very knowledgeable and their experience with TRIO provides a lot of credibility to the information they shared. I liked when they provided real examples from their programs to help us understand the information."

Please note that proposal costs are unallowable. §200.460 Proposal costs. Proposal costs are the costs of preparing bids, proposals, or applications on potential Federal and non-Federal awards or projects, including the development of data necessary to support the non-Federal entity’s bids or proposals. Proposal costs of the current accounting period of both successful and unsuccessful bids and proposals normally should be treated as indirect (F&A) costs and allocated currently to all activities of the non-Federal entity.
