GRANT WRITING TIPS
Three ways to improve your grant proposal are:
- Eliminate jargon: Get rid of all internally used acronyms and jargon. Write simply and in language that everyone can understand.
- Tell a story: You have to get the attention of someone who has likely been reviewing grant proposals all day. Get that person’s attention with a unique narrative that makes your application stand out from the crowd.
- Find an objective reviewer: Send a draft of the proposal to someone who isn’t familiar with your organization. If that person can understand—and be interested in—your proposal, you’re on the right track.

PERSONAL MESSAGE
November is the time of year we all sit down at the table with our families, friends, and neighbors and give thanks. Reflecting on the past year, our office is thankful for the many strong partnerships we have in place and for new partnerships that will allow the Laboratory to be a stronger community partner in Northern New Mexico.
