Description
Note: This is a self-paced online course.
Training Overview
This course introduces the basics of public health grants, including where to locate funding opportunities and how to interpret and respond to Requests for Proposals (RFP). Grants play a critical role in supporting programs and initiatives that improve community health. For many public health agencies and organizations, grant funding makes it possible to launch new initiatives, expand services and address pressing local health needs. Understanding how grants work and how to find and apply for them is an essential skill for public health professionals.
The course contains three modules: the content module, a resources module, and an evaluation. After finishing all three modules, learners will earn a certificate of completion. When the certificate is available, learners will see a Certificate button on their dashboard.
The entire training is expected to take 1 hour to complete. Participants will need a broadband internet connection (Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox are preferred browsers) and computer speakers. For technical support, please contact emoryphtc@emory.edu.
