The HSI Grantsmanship Institute will be a hands-on, interactive and dynamic experience designed to help HSI staff and faculty identify funding opportunities, plan and develop effective applications that meet institutional needs, and write strong, competitive applications for U.S. Dept of Ed Title V and National Science Foundation (NSF) HSI along with other NSF grants focused on diversifying the STEM field.
The Grantsmanship Institute will be divided into TWO SEPARATE INSTITUTES. One focused on US Dept of Ed Title V/III grants and the other on NSF Grants. Each institute will have a separate group of facilitators who have experience with developing and writing successful grants for these two funding agencies.
Campuses should consider sending TWO teams if they are interested in both institutes. The NSF focused team should primarily include STEM faculty as they will have to be the Principal Investigators (PIs) for these grants. If a campus does choose to send two teams, the teams will have opportunity to meet and discuss with one another how to leverage Dept. of Ed and NSF grants for maximum benefit, for their institutions and most importantly their students.
Please note that each institute has a maximum capacity of 100 participants. Register early!

+ AHSIE Title V/III Grantsmanship Institute Preparation
Dear Colleague: We are looking forward to working with you at the HSI Grantsmanship Institute two weeks from now. In the interest of making the Institute optimally useful to you, I’m attaching a couple of documents. While we will be displaying other documents, these may come in handy: (a) the Federal Register announcement on potential Competitive Preference Priorities, and (b) an overview of the 2017 Title V scoring rubric, which is unlikely to change substantively.
We also encourage you to bring to the Institute (a) any working drafts or narrative describing the Title V project you’re planning, (b) a copy of any unsuccessful 2017 application along with the readers’ comments, and/or (c) excerpts of any strategic plan or data set than helps define the challenge that your Title V project will address. In preparation for the Institute, you might also want to spend some time discussing the Title V opportunity with key players at the institution, and giving some thought to what barriers impede the institution from increasing such metrics as retention, persistence and graduation for LatinX students.
We also encourage you to bring a laptop, since we will incorporate small writing exercises, and you will also want to do some quick research on high impact practices or relevant studies.
See you soon, David Trujillo, HSI Grantsmanship Institute Facilitation Team
