Funding Focus: Foundation Funding–Writing a Letter of Intent

Join us on May 13, 2010 for our May Funding Focus forum—Foundation Funding: Writing a Letter of Intent. The workshop will be held on Thursday, May 13, 2010 from 12:00 pm – 1:00pm in Mac Hall 2201. It’s open to all faculty, researchers, students, and research administrators at OHSU.

Come to this informal brownbag session to learn how to best approach a private foundation through a letter of intent. Getting money from a private foundation is different than approaching the NIH or other large federal agencies. Writing a letter of intent is often the first step in contacting a foundation and it is the best way for you to introduce your research. Our speaker will lead you through the process of contacting a foundation, how the OHSU Foundation can help, and where you can find resources. Whether you are a seasoned grant writer or just starting out, come to this workshop to learn how to put your best foot forward when you initially approach a private foundation.
