Battelle for Kids, in coordination with the Cook Center for Human Connection, is facilitating a two-day grant training workshop specifically designed for K-12 school district leaders and educators.
The Grant Writing Essentials workshop will feature an intensive and interactive training course that will allow participants to fully understand and navigate the grant writing process from pursuit to award.
The workshop will be held April 24-25 at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City.
