This comprehensive workshop led by Bill Hart-Davidson (Michigan State University) offered a unique, humanistic perspective on grants development and administration. An interactive event spanning four sessions, it guided over 40 participants through the entire life cycle of a grant project, emphasizing all the elements a successful proposal needs other than a good idea. Whittling away at silos between programming and administration, the event foregrounded the necessity of collaboration, teamwork, and shared expertise as the cornerstone of a sustainable, fundable project. Although rooted in a humanistic ethos, the workshop’s multidisciplinary address was evidenced by the engaged enthusiasm of attendees spanning community members, students, and administrators and faculty from the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Medicine, Education, and Engineering, among others.
