Description
As part of the Public Health Funding and Grantsmanship course, our team of students worked with the Hearts and Hands Clinic which provides free health services to Bulloch County residents who lack health insurance, are ineligible for Medicaid and Medicare, and live at or below 200% of the federal poverty level. The objective of our collaboration was to provide quality writing assistance to Hearts and Hands for a competitive grant application to Susan G. Komen Coastal Georgia. The team’s research of organizational structure, capabilities, and needs coupled with environmental assessment informed the write-up of the background, budget, work plan, and evaluation plan, all of which constituted parts of a submitted grant application. This service-learning project provided the clinic with the tool needed to further sustain its program operations, and enhanced students’ grant-writing skills. Students also learned communication skills and acquired hands-on experience in obtaining information needed for successful grant submission.
