Securing and Sustaining Funding

Securing and Sustaining Funding: Best Practices for Grant Planning, Implementation and Evaluation

Federal funding is shifting, and competition is up. Application windows are shorter, state sign-off steps eat into the timeline, and federal priorities continue to change.

In this environment, strong programs often lose — not on merit, but because reviewers cannot easily find what they are scoring. And winning the award is only the start: Grantees still have to deliver what they proposed and demonstrate that it works.

In this session, NPI Strategies and TRX Development Solutions will walk through the full grant lifecycle — from preparing a competitive proposal that stands up to the review criteria, to planning implementation before you submit, to building an evaluation plan that shows results and sets you up for the next award.

Using SAMHSA as the primary reference point, the session will offer practical strategies that apply to federal and private funders alike. Presenters include:

• Susannah Selnick, MBA, President, NPI Strategies
• Gina Cramer, MS, Director of Behavioral Health, TRX Development Solutions

At the conclusion of this webinar, participants should be able to:

• Align their proposal narrative with the scoring criteria.
• Prepare a comprehensive proposal that connects program activities, staffing model, partnerships and budget to the program’s intended goals and objectives.
• Understand the difference between outputs, outcomes and impact, and use evaluation data to sustain and grow a program.

Join us to strengthen your approach across the grant lifecycle — from proposal development to implementation, evaluation and future funding.
