August 23, 2023 Getting to the Heart of the Matter - What Makes Good Aims and Objectives?
On today's Grant Rant, I chat with Senior Grants Consultants Steve Jax and Sarah Ott about best practices when it comes to aims and objectives in grant proposals. We all know codependency in relationships is bad, but did you know it's bad in grants too? Well, it is! Sarah and Steve talk me through keeping those aims independent, what interdependence looks like, and how to make a compelling case that your aims/objectives are getting at the heart of the matter.
