The Anatomy of a Grant (one-half-day): Electronic Grant Applications
VERSION: 1.0
Correct registration must occur for you to submit and track your grant application through the federal system. This short class will walk you through the e-Business process and the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) so you can begin your Grants.gov registration. If you already have a valid Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Number (DUNS), bring it to class. NOTE: We can come to your location and train staff on their own computers (one-on-one), getting you registered and set. Or we can present a class, but would advise that people attend with their own laptops.You may want to consider taking our two other 1-day courses: Grant Writing Basics, and Writing an Actual Grant prior to, or in conjunction with this course.
Key Benefits

What we require of you
For the onsite class, you must show up for class on time and remain until it is completed (approximately 7-8 hours each day). You will interact with other learners, complete writing exercises, and ask questions when confused.
For the online class, you will take this course at your own pace. Although we estimate you can complete this course in 14 hours, you have up to ten weeks. If you are new to self-directed learning, you may find this style of learning fresh—and a bit frightening. You learn by doing. You alone are responsible for your own learning. That means you must have the drive and discipline to see the course through.
Before you start
- Review your own schedule to make sure you have the time to give to this learning process.
- For the onsite class you have no pre-class readings or activities.
- For the online class you need to review this document, the terms and conditions, and technical requirements to make sure that you meet all of them (see links below).
- After reading this entire description, proceed to the Register page when you are ready to sign up.
