Assessment of an Interactive Web-Based Model for Proposal Writing Workshops

该项目正在探索一种基于网络的方法，以提供一个互动的提案写作讲习班。高度互动的现场研讨会，虽然有效地提高赠款写作技能，是昂贵的，耗时的，通常只达到有限的观众。该项目正在测试这种类型的演示文稿是否可以转换为基于Web的格式。该计划要求进行一个试点，涉及至少10个偏远地点，每个地点有10个或更多的当地参与者。 基于网络的模式包括一名当地讲习班主持人，负责协调每个地点的活动，并作为该地点的与会者与讲习班领导人之间的接口。 正在利用调查数据来确定这一办法的有效性，并找出改进之处。 如果基于网络的交互式提案写作研讨会被证明是有效的，那么在不同的，有时是偏远的校园中接触更广泛的教职员工的潜力将大大提高。

This project is exploring a web-based approach for delivering an interactive proposal writing workshop. Highly interactive, on-site workshops, although effective in improving grant writing skills, are costly, time consuming and generally only reach a limited audience. The project is testing whether this type of presentation can be converted to a web-based format. The plans call for a pilot involving at least ten remote sites with ten or more local participants at each. The web-based model includes a local workshop facilitator to coordinate the activities at each site and to serve as an interface between the participants at that site and the workshop leader. Survey data is being used to determine the effectiveness of the approach and to identify improvements. If the interactive web-based proposal writing workshops proves to be effective, the potential for reaching a broader audience of faculty members at diverse and sometimes remote campuses will be greatly enhanced.
