Webinar Description:
Many funding agencies, especially state and federal agencies, are now asking grant applicants to demonstrate an evidence basis for the program they are proposing. This can mean different things to different funders.
This session will explore some of the most common expectations from funding agencies and how they communicate this in their funding notices (with excerpts from such funding notices provided in the webinar).
The speaker will provide the characteristics of the different levels of evidence that grant professionals usually encounter.
The session will then focus on how to find evidence-based programs for linking to grant proposals and will demonstrate, with examples, how to incorporate this information into proposals to earn maximum points from reviewers.
