Steps to Writing a Grant Proposal
A Grant Proposal is a written program plan that details how the plan will help a needs or problem. The Grant Proposal includes the following sections:

Table of contents
Specific aims/background and significance/needs and problem statement
Target populations
Approaches and methods
Long- and short-term goals
Process, outcome, and impact objectives
Activity plans and scheduling (timeline)
Evaluation plan
Agency capacity and project management

Location(s) and setting(s) of project
