Grant Writing Academy Home
The Grant Writing Academy (est. 2014) is redefining how grant writing is practiced at Stanford and beyond. Equipped with a unique vision to center joy in grant writing, the Grant Writing Academy serves Stanford trainees and faculty through bootcamps, writing retreats, workshops, and resource development. We use evidence-based approaches to support grant writers at all stages of the proposal development process. To ensure we meet the evolving needs of grant writers at all levels, we continually iterate our programming and share our results in publications and presentations.
Over a Decade of Impact
What does more than ten years of empowering grant professionals look like? For more than a decade, the Grant Writing Academy has been helping grant writers build the skills and confidence to secure funding that makes a difference.
Our first-ever Impact Report celebrates this journey–sharing the stories, milestones, and measurable impact we’ve achieved together with our incredible community. See how far we’ve come and the vision that continues to drive our work!
