Spattered and disjointed personal class notes on an intro to grant writing and project management, from David Wiley’s IPT 682 course.
Grant writing and project management
Introductions. Mundane thing about you. Much breakfast talk.
Me: I keep many things in my pockets.
(“What has it got in its pocketssss, precious?” “pen, pencil, phone, mp3 player, keys, coins, note cards, wallet, pencil sharpener, lip balm. Sorry!”)
Grants, research, dissertation. A lot of these guys are ready for dissertation!
Criteria for a successful dissertation
original
contribute knew knowledge to the body, extend conversation
significant (not meaningless)
manageable (scope)
Don’t let service opportunities pass you by.
No one wins a nobel prize for dissertation work.
But how can your dissertation be useful (to others)? How can it be a service to the field?
Small things
We must serve others, no matter how small we are. Some small things confound great things. (examples? Luther? Declaration of Independence?) Jesus worked through small things, i.e. intimate conversations and informal sermons.
develop digital identity
self-form communities
manage information flow
