The Great Plains IDeA-CTR is sponsoring a FREE Virtual Grant Writing Workshop on Tuesday, June 7th. "Effective Grant Writing, Taking it to the Next Level" will be held via Zoom from 8 a.m. to Noon CST.

This course:

The workshop will be led by Paul Casella, MFA. Casella is a writer, teacher and editor. A graduate of Dartmouth College and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop, Paul has worked with health professionals to improve the clarity and effectiveness of their manuscripts for publication and grant applications since 1995.
