A non-profit director attends a seminar on grant writing and fundraising. Senior scholars in a lab train students and post docs in grant writing. College courses in grant writing are increasingly part of technical and professional writing degree plans.<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></font></p>

This genre can be both empowering and intimidating to students in their first experiences with it: empowering in its ability to achieve goals —funds for scientific research, for a non-profit’s mission, for an artist’s ability to create. Students gain a highly marketable skill. But learning to write successful grant proposals often means unlearning academic assumptions about what constitutes good writing.<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></font></p></div><div>

Resources on <i>teaching </i>grant writing are sparse and mostly siloed in disciplinary contexts. We seek to develop a more broad-based resource examining pedagogy, one that recognizes that grant writing is a genre that spans disciplinary boundaries.<span class="gmail-Apple-converted-space"> </span></font></p>
