Or, We Didn’t Get the Grant
This happens often, don’t be discouraged. You still have a well thought-out, written plan for your project.
Ask funder for feedback on your proposal
Tweak some (or a lot) and re-apply next year
Find other sources and tweak as needed for their guidelines

BrainstormingFunders want topical and important projects that have the potential to produce far-reaching results or evidence. DISCUSS!
What kind of projects . . . •Are topical?•Are important (for science, for student success, etc.)?•Will produce results (evidence, enrollment, retention, etc.)?
And also . . . •align with MU’s Strategic Plan? •are feasible/achievable within the next year or so?
. . . if we just had a some funds to help with equipment, training, staffing, stipends, books, training, etc.
