RAN/RTAC Short Course on Writing a Winning Grant Proposal. Application deadline, 30th December 2021.

The Makerere University-ResilientAfrica Network (RAN) informs all prospective applicants that the second cohort of the grants writing short course is now open. The short course is entitled: ‘Writing a winning grant proposal’. Evidence has shown that despite having content expertise, most professionals and University-based researchers in LMICs often have limited specific experience on how to write a winning grant for development, specifically for USAID. RAN through USAID’s Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) has designed a short course on how to write a winning grant proposal.

This is a high-level course that will be offered under the RTAC targeting practitioners involved in development and research related work. The course will be interactive and delivered by ‘E-learning’ mode. Well-experienced and regionally recognized resourceful persons from Makerere University and partner organizations involved in research and development work will facilitate the course. This will be a four weeks modular online course offered by RAN through USAID’s Research Technical Assistance Center (RTAC), running from 17th January to 17th February, 2022.

The deadline for receipt of applications is December 30th, 2021.
