HAYS, Kan. -- The Management Development Center at Fort Hays State University will offer a workshop, "Advanced Grant Writing," at 9 a.m. Friday, March 4, in the Expeditions Room of the Sternberg Museum of Natural History.

Participants will learn how to target federal and non-federal funding sources through proven methods designed to increase the probability of funding. Leslie Paige, coordinator for FHSU's Office of Scholarship and Sponsored Projects, will facilitate.

The workshop will build on introductory grant writing skills and enhance the skills of those with basic grant writing knowledge. Participants will focus on a comprehensive approach to proposal development and strategies designed to increase the competitiveness of proposals.
