On the heels of last week is the continuation of the Fels grant. I said that I wrote the post grant report in three drafts and that Brenna was satisfied. When Deb went over it she realized that I may have missed something. The report had specific guidelines and questions that needed to be addressed, which I had. What I had tried to do in the beginning was write a report containing all the answers they required, but what happened was I had a jumbled report of various answers and some were missing. So I went through and basically made it into a checklist. I copied and pasted the question and below it had the answer. It took a couple of more drafts but I got through it and it looks much stronger. On Friday Deb had me go through, put everything that was required together and put it all in an envelope to drive it over the the Samuel L. Fels office to personally deliver it. I looked through the narrative and Deb barely changed a thing I wrote, so I was still able to write a complete report from scratch. And I learned something very important, it doesn't have to look like a term paper or an article, it just has to be thorough and well written.
I'm beginning to like grant writing, I feel I could be good at it and I find a real satisfaction in this kind of work.
