<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings Colleagues,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was recently asked to teach our grant writing course for this upcoming summer. As some background, it is a masters-level course, but the students probably will not have prior grant writing experience. We will meet in person for six weeks.
 Enrollment typically includes students from our Master's in Writing and Rhetoric as well as from graduate degrees in other departments. We will also have community partners for the course, so the focus will be on grant writing for non-profits rather than academic
 research funding.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, I need to make a textbook decision by next week, so I would greatly appreciate any recommendations you have. Additionally, if anyone has course syllabi or other resources you would be willing to share, that would be tremendously
 helpful as I structure this course.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance for your expertise and advice! <o:p></o:p></p>
