Funding an idea: a workshop on writing a grant proposal for allied health professionals

A framework for a workshop on grant writing to be presented to allied health professionals who seek to develop or improve their grant writing skills is described. The proposed framework contains eight sections that describe preparation for a grant application. The sections discuss activities that occur before, during, and after completing the application. The framework is flexible in its delivery format. The flexibility of this framework creates unique opportunities to present information to allied health professionals and to encourage them to seek funding for research and clinical projects.
