DMFT-7202 - Grant Writing Concepts and Approaches for MFTs

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 12

This doctoral-level course focuses on the fundamental concepts of, and approaches to, grant writing. The purpose for this course is to prepare students to seek, identify, and respond to different types of grant opportunities. Special emphasis is placed on developing grant applications using the systemic/relational conceptual framework of Marriage and Family Therapy as a template for developing prevention, early intervention, or full-scale/multidisciplinary treatment programs. Particular focus will be devoted to using Internet resources to access grantors’ grant and program announcements, strategic plans, and funding priorities. Students will consider ethical and political implications of various funding sources in pursuing grant funds.
