About this course
Public health programs are critical to connecting community members with information and services that will improve their health, but often the governmental resources and funding allocated to public health departments aren't adequate to cover the costs for these important programs. It is then necessary for public health officials to supplement their department's budget with external funding sources, such as grants. Public health professionals should be familiar with how to prepare and write winning grant proposals. In this course you will learn about the fundamentals of grant writing.

- Outline the role of grants in supporting public health programs and initiatives.
