NAS 312 - Grant Writing for Social and Environmental Justice

Units: 4

Teaches the mechanics of proposal writing and the political and social aspects of “grantsmanship,” including a focus on skills in identifying sources of grant funding, doing useful research to support applications, and tailoring proposals to specific audience interests. Provides a broad overview of federal, state, and foundation grants aimed at program and project development for the social sciences with a focus on programs for social and environmental justice. Includes several short writing assignments and an independent project. Students may also be asked to engage in a collaborative grant project to help build their skills in collaboration or to work on a grant application for submission. Those interested in working with nonprofit, state, or tribal organizations will learn how to navigate grant writing, grant submission, and grant planning. Provides context for a critical discussion of decolonial methodologies for grantsmanship and program and project development.
